Which Wheel To Get?

[Tbolt]

i went with are you serious? but I am curious as to what they would look like on an e30...so be my guest =D

[rThor432]

16x8 225/50/16 frnt
17x9 245/45/17 rear or 16x8 245/50/16 rear

That's a lot of sidewall.

I cant help you with wheel choices, sounds like you are pretty set on the Hummer reps.

I like a little side wall. I run a 205/50/15 right now so I think it would be close to the same road feel just more connected. Therory at least.

I do have a request in to get them P-choped so...

you have no idea how sidewall works do you?

a 205/50 has a 102.5mm sidewall height. a 245/50 has a 122.5mm sidewall height. that will not only look totally fucking stupid, it's going to be really ugly with those horrible wheels you found.

I don't believe those out of thousands of wheels available those are the only ones you could find. I still think you're trolling.

Why are you
so hostile

over something
I
want to do or not
with my car?

And to be honest--I don`t understand what you mean by trolling.

your math is off---

45% of 245mm =110mm

50% of 205mm=102.5mm

difference of 7.5mm

10mm=1cm

10mm=1cm>7.5mm

a 245/50 has a 122.5mm sidewall height

those wheels look like they belong on a fucking donk

[z31maniac]

ones that fill MY requirments seem to be.

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.


It doesn't really matter though, I suspect that you won't even get the 5 lug swap done.

#1
16x8 225/50/16 frnt
17x9 245/45/17 rear
or
16x8 245/50/16 rear

50% of 245=122.5mm

50% of 205mm=102.5mm

102.5mm from 122.5mm is 20mm==

20mm x .03937=.7874inches

rounded to 3/4 of an inch sidewall difference

reallly??

it really is hard to accept?

parts in basement--just need to reinvest in new equipment to complete

[z31maniac]

Then add another half inch since you're going from a 15 to a 16.

Fuck, you're dense.

[stormspike]

I like these new wheels I just put on!

[OrganicMechanic]

no, your again misunderstanding data set.

Fuck, you're dense.

yes you are

[OrganicMechanic]

I like the Throwing stars--but they are a +42mm offset if I am recalling correctly

[nando]

245/50-16 is 1.7" too tall

245/45-17 is 1.8" too tall

I don't think he's misunderstanding anything
