Anyone running DSII's on an E30 M3 5 lug setup?

[BDK]

I could ask the S14 crowd but their cars have wider fenders so I thought I would ask here first...

I am trying to find out what tire size and what size spacers are needed...

Thanks for any help...

yes, 215/40-17 or 225/40-17 (on the 7.5 inch wide wheels) and 225/40-17, 235/35-17 or 245/35-17 (on the 8.5 inch wide wheels), 15-20mm spacers.

i have DS2s on mine...

right now im running 215/40/17 all around, with rain tires (staggered wheels), on ground control suspension.

when i had 215/40 in front, and 225/40 in the back, with 12mm spacers, i got some rubbing in the rear fenders. i rolled them a little, and still had issues. seems like 15-20mm spacers would cause MORE rubbing. no?

i actually dont like the 215's in rear. wanna definitely go with something wider.

Not mine but it looks amazing with them...









Maybe the owner will post up and tell his tire size. Goes by il duce on e30tech. Im not sure what he is here.

hey those are my pictures.

your car is very low, and has the late model arches. i guess i just figured that et38 or et41 wheels would need spacers on the e30 m3 5-lug, which uses an offset of around et25. that's why i said 15-20mm.

are you SURE you have the e30 m3 5-lug? haha.

i have the e36 m3 5-lug and running et23 wheels and not rubbing, so i dont know what the deal is.

i think you should get rid of your spacers and run 245's in the back and 225's in the front.

BDK I answered your PM before I saw this, but I'll repeat it here.

12mm spacers all around, and anything bigger than a 215/40 will need some serious fender massage.

You could possibly get more rear tire with a smaller spacer, but you have to be careful with inner clearance.
