    Comment 1) 225/40-16 is undersized, get 225/45-16 instead.

    Comment 2) I hope you have a fat checkbook.

      6 pages about HRE wheels on an E30.

      Let's just say it's not the most popular wheel choice on this board. Money could be better spent.

      Edit: My tires are correctly sized. Unless you running 205/55 on basketweaves to lower your gear ratio, running undersized is silly.

      You wheels may look bigger, but your fender gap will increase! If you want to have bigger wheels, buy 17's.

          Tires are not there for looks, get the right size so your speedo isn't off. I have 50 series tires and they still look relatively small, yet very healthy.



          205/50-16.

            E30 spedometers aren't even accurate in the first place. What difference is 3 km/h gonna make. Undersized tires aren't going to make your car explode.

                        Except.... it doesnt... not that much faster anyway... For the moeny spent on a 3.0, you could save up and drop an M/S50 in.

                          And you could also not buy an E30 and save up for an E46 :roll:

                          I'm sorry, but I find your comment stupid.

                            E46 are ; unless it's a 330Ci or an M3, they are pretty much the weaksauce.

                              agree the 330Ci and the M3s are the only ones worth getting. i would much rather have one of those than a e36 :roll:
