what size tires

[MachineMasterG]

hi i just got basketweaves 15x7 with a 22 mm offset what would be a good tire size to get... someone else said that this offset was not right for an e30 any thoughts on that will i need spacers ?????

No spacers needed as factory uses ET 24 and I have ET 20 wheels also.

Size from factory is 205-55-15 or 225-50-15 hope this helps.

Going with the 225's will most likely give you a higher limit, but depending on whether you are lowered or not, you may need to roll your fenders if the offset is et22. I'm running 225's on 15x7's with slightly rolled fenders tucking the rear about a 1/2" and the front tires about even with the fenders with no rubbing whatsoever.

I'm a big fan of the 225s. If anything, they look a whole lot better than 205s to me.
