    Tire rec's for Rotal Slipstream

    Need to order tires asap for e30 Vert 1986. Just bought a set of 16x8 4x100 +20et wheels. Told they won't rub and wont require spacers. I need to get tires on the Road as we dont stock real tires here in VT.

    Would I have any issues with 225/50/16 if not what brand and model. Or best solution for the tire size. Car will be ready next Thurs or Friday and the Bottlecaps and 195's are not going back on. So what to buy and where.
    Thanks so much to all of you who have kindly responded to my posts. The advice and suggestions have been paramount to my ability in aquireing parts and services.

    225/50/16 will rub badly. that is an oversized tire for an e30. a better size would be 225/45/16 which mite also rub depending on what suspension yer running.
