Wheel/Tire Fitment

[egk2]

/\ Yup, I don't know if you guys remember but when I first
got my 16x9's I had some eibachs, long story short, it looked
bad, very bad.

Nah, too much gap in the front with a saggy rear. I agree with the car
needs to be slammed for the euro look.

exactly. undersized tires (width and diameter) + poke + wheelgap = goofy

But if you like the look, by all means go for it :shrug

[egk2]

looks good to me?

IMHO unless the car is slammed, pokey wheels look extra goofy.
Example:

its funny cuz if i remember right you were running 215-40-17s on your turbo car, correct? im running 215-40-16s on an 8. i personally dont like having an inch to two inches between my tire And fender. doesnt look undersized to me.

I don't know what you're trying to say but 215/40/17 is the correct size for an E30.

I would never run 0 offset of undersized tires, sorry.

I really like the look and for atleast a year I will not be slamming my e30 like the one in egk2's sig :)

Just a mild drop. Suspension travel should more than take up the extra space :)

Thanks guys!

[egk2]

et0 is a bit much, et5 is the max I'd go.

E-rich is talking about his 16's, 205/45-16 isn't off by far

15x8 sportmax with 205/50-15 will work fine, although rolled fenders and a decently stiff suspension is definately a must.

yes i was speaking of 16s. 205-50-15s work nicely. not a whole lot of stretch.

205/50 is still undersized. 205/45 is WAY undersized.

205 45 would work very nicely. stay away from 50 series...
