Why 5-lug over 4-lug......?

fixed that for you

i didn't rub with the 205s my e38 weaves came with.

going to 225/45 KDWs required a pull.

not sure why you had a different result.

it's okay though; i'm happy with my setup whether or not some random dude on the internet approves of it.

Never said I didn't approve of it-- I'm running the same suspension on my car........

I just thought the E34 style 5s with 205s that didn't rub around town- but did rub on the Ring, didn't look so nice from the rear on my car. I just wish that an ET20 or so wheel with a 8,5 inch width would fit better was all I was saying.

I see no point other than opening up E36/E46 17" selection.

This. OP, you do realize that wider /= more grip, right? It's more surface area, so it will take longer to get up to temp, but will shed heat quicker (may be important if it's a trackcar, but there is a 'right' size here, too wide and they won't get up to optimal temp) but otherwise it will have the same Cf of any other tire of the same compound, regardless of size. A majority of the E36 brake setups yield a relatively poor brake balance on an E30. Massive BBK is the way to go on an E30, engineering & balance is already done for you.


FWIW, my E36 318ti is my DD. I rock stock 15's, and I've considered 4-lug swapping just to make all the E30 people scratch their heads.
