My e30 runs 10s!!!!

[e30this]

So a 16x10 with a 6 inch back spacing would also work? Thats about a +12
I mean it wont have as much poke as you but its still a 10 and this might allow me to run a 225 instead of a 215. Do you know how much space you have between the back of the wheel and the shock?

Im trying to squeeze as much tire and wheel in there as I can.

Because you've PMed me with your suspension, I can tell you without heavy fender modification you can't pull it off.

Even a 16x10 +12 with 215/45.. hell... possibly 205/40 (seen it done) would have a hard time. I could barely even drive the car with that setup. Literally putting a pair of tires in the trunk caused the car to start scrubbing the tires when I went past 10mph.

If you want a 16x10 with a 225, you will need a seriously stiff suspension (almost solid), possibly compromising handling, and still need considerable fender work.

I did have plans, if I had to. Was to cut the inner fenders and push the wheel well out if need be. So Im not scared to cut, bend, fab, plasma, weld, and grind anything that I have to. :)

Then by all means... be ready for a lot of it :p

whens the photoshoot?

Well, considering this car was chopped in half and junked about 3 weeks ago, it'd be kind of tough to see that happen :p

New car's coming soon though :)

So then a 16x10 +12 should work. Not as much poke and a little easier to fit with the 215/45..... :)
Im going to order one wheel and tire to test fit tomorrow and go from there.
Thanks for all your help and answering all of my questions.

We're going with 16x12 now? I'd really like to be there in person to test how not scared of cutting you'll be when these get test-fitted. :p

[Erick]

sorry what?

Yeah, it hurt me a bit inside. I took pictures with my phone but never managed to post them up.
