              How you can hate stretch tire but run a wheel wider than your wheels well? Does not make any sense. Stretch FTW!

                I was thinking the same thing. I would have just bought some proper e30 sized KT1's, not like they aren't available. That said, since I don't hate stretch, I think it'll look great.

                Only thing I'd worry about is once you roll your fenders as much as you're going to need to, your car will never look right about with anything but wide in the rear. My e34 was over-rolled and I regret the hell out of it, I can't even run positive offsets anymore

                    actually they arent available unless i want to run 16x9 all around which was not an option. I wanted staggered.

                    Update: Pulled and rolled the fenders after work tonight. tires ordered...

                    255-40-17's and 215-40-17's (Dunlop Direzza's)
                    VERY little stretch will be done.

                              a 255-40 isn't THAT big. it just seems that way on stock fenders. a 260 would be the standard on a 10in wide wheel.

                                would a 255-35 fit better than a 245-40?
