E30s on 16s - post yours

[samiam3356]

For the e38 style 5s above.... what size tires and it looks like you have a spacer out back?

225/45/16 No spacer. 318ti stuff pushes the rear out. e30 m3 stuff would be better for running a more stock offset. I'm going with DS2's in the near future and all will be well again.

nice setup.
what wheels are those? e39 style 5's ??
what brake set up are you running?? e36m front, 318ti rear i'm doing a 5 lug swap myself and trying to decide on what brakes to use.

You will love the e36m brakes. Went with the style 5's because they are one of the few 16's that fit over them.

would z3 m coupe rear trailing arms push the rear wheels out more, as well????

Hey Jim, do you have a direct side shot? I'm thinking about 225/40's for my next set of wheels but they look kinda tall

Best I have.

[Erik]

205/45/16 - 590mm tall
225/40/16- 586mm tall

Depending on the stretch they should look very similar. But the sidewalls are almost identical height.

[E30SPDFRK]

Sweet, doesn't look that much bigger then my 215/40's then. I used to have 205/45's up front though and I thought they looked too big. hmmm.
