With 17x7's stick with a 215/40/17, next size up would be 235/40/17's, those would look goofy on a 7" rim.

It's up to you what diameter you want to run, smaller will give you more sidewall.

Not feeling that wheel you posted though.

15x7 et25 with 225/50/15's with rolled rear fenders, looks good and handles good, you worry less about bending a wheel and/or curbing a wheel.

Well thanks for all your help... I am going to retract my statements and switch to a 15 or 16" rim and get a little nicer of a wheel while im at it..

Im looking at some Rota's and I have it down to the Rota Track R in gunmetal or the GT3 in gunmetal.. what do you guys think?

The Track R's have alot more offset choices +25 is making me sway towards them..

I like those better. They come in 16x8?

[Lsb_E30]

they come in 15x7 ET +15/+18/+25/+35/+40 and 16x7 ET 40

I also like the GT3's they come in 15x7 et40 and 16x7 et 40..

Should i grab the 15x7 in an Et25???

Yes, no need for spacers

225/50/15 is the best tire to run

trade you a set of brand new Rota slips full polish 16x8 et20 made for an e30, for yer HRE's.

Alex...

When we did that Paradise Drive run with Aaron, Justin and Will from SF, I was running 225/50/R15 in rear and 205/55/R15 in front (like others are suggesting). Those are the closest to stock rolling diameter for 15s. (my Kosei's were 15x7 and almost same offset) NO ROLLING and NO RUBBING. That pic you posted looks like a good candidate. I wanna see a p-chop of that wheel on an e30.

Yea, come by an drop em off

[Lsb_E30]

so i picked up a set of 15x7.5 rims in an et25

im lookin at tires and i cant believe its like 30 bucks more from 195 to 205 and at that point i might as well run the biggest i can..

Can 245/50/15s fit
