Which Wheel To Get?

[OrganicMechanic]

what is your datum?

what dimension are you using for datum reference.

[OrganicMechanic]

datum reference=dia rim=16`

(122.5mm x 2) =9.6`+16=25.6 inches=wheel dia with tire

205/50/15

205 x .03937=8.0+15=23.0 wheel dia with tire

23.0 from 25.6=2.6/2=1.3 additional inches when measuring from centerline.

You aren't looking hard enough if the best you could come up with is some shitty truck wheels.

You obviously have no idea about what O.D. tires will fit on an E30. So you are going to flare the fenders out to fit tall sidewall tires on shitty truck wheels, you are fucking awesome.

Shitty truck wheels should look just fine...

[OrganicMechanic]

wow--I ser3ved

can`t argue stupid--

You can't find any strong, low-offset wheels in 5x120? Then you sir, are a fucking moron.

Just look at almost EVERYTHING BMW has made for the five series and stop trolling. Your tire size math is a joke, too. All of the tire sizes you've mentioned are at between 1.3" and 1.7" TOO TALL. Not only will this NOT CLEAR THE BODYWORK WITHOUT HEAVY MODIFICATION, you also won't have enough power to break tread for your mad tyte driftzorz.


Quit trolling and leave please.

the stock size for a 15" rim which is 205/55-15

google tire calculator

you asked for opinions so don't cry when we tell you your taste is awful.

[OrganicMechanic]

confirms my math--

I am not going to argue my taste or lack of in some eyes, but my math is correct.

when you confirm select the wheel veiw option as well. shows compared veiw on grid backround.

16x8 E38 style 5's. Done.

it confirms that your tire selection is over 2" in overall diameter too big, yes.

[OrganicMechanic]

nice, but pricing may knock them out as well.

16`s not 18`s sir

[nando]

there is a 16x8 wheel from the 5 series that would fit the bill nicely.

[rThor432]

Wait... is this going on the convertible in your signature? Are you converting the convertible to 5-lug and going drifting?

I don't think he's misunderstanding anything

Roger that.

please explain what "trolling" is.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]
