[txtorquemade]

Just ordered these 205 x 60 x14 for my car from Tire Rack. Stock weaves 6.5 width. ( 306.00 with shipping)

Im lowered on HR/Billy sports.

Gonna look ok? No rubbing issues? I hope...

Chime in!!

I don't think it should. I was on 205 50's on H&R race with no issues and those wheels were et20.

Shouldn't have any issues unless you're running ridic thick spacers

No spacers. Just looks kind of close in the rears. Just dont want to rub on my DD.

I have the same car with the same suspension, but my sumitomos are 195-65-14. I have TONS of room. You won't have an issue.

What do you guys think of those tires?

I saw this on a Dunlop the other day

I used to run 205/60 with 15mm spacers on the same suspension with late arches and there was still room.

Sumitomo were a Far East subsidiary of Dunlop.
They may still be.

Man I just dont see how that is possible. But.. guess we will see. Might have to get some spacers....:o

Did you roll fenders to do all that?

Dude don't sweat it.
205/60 is the standard size that most guys upgrade to on stock wheels.

I've ran them on countless lowered cars. Even while running 25mm track+ spacers in the rear.

So 205 x 60 is pretty standard? I thought 195 x 65 was. But, Im glad its all good. Looking forward to the new "stance"....LOL.

195/65 is the stock size on all US e30's with 14" wheels.
205/60 is a very popular upgrade size on stock wheels since it is the "plus-zero" upsize.
Fatter tire with pretty much the same overall diameter.

[blefevre]

Yep, 205 is nothing crazy, you will be more then fine. Spacers make them look really nice, I would recommend it if you don't plan on upgrading the wheels anytime soon.

[txtorquemade]

What size spacers would you recommend?

Sumitomo = Dunlop. Underrated tire IMO. I run HTR ZIIIs on my Cayman and they do great, I turn pretty okay laptimes and they last easily 3-4x as long as a set of more expensive Pilots / PZeros.
