I have a friend running 225/50s on style 5s with 18mm adaptors. He's on h&r race w/ bilstein sports. You'll need a fender roll for those, but 205s shouldn't be an issue.

I haven't been in the car since he moved & got the wheels, but he hasn't told my about any issues. If it rubs I can't imagine it being terrible, he'll normally tell me if somethings up with the car.


he has camber plates up front if that helps.

-edit- just saw your edit. Not sure, when he texted me that he got 225s I assumed all around. I'm going to be quite the jackass if they arent up front

But in all seriousness, with a fender roller you can pull the heck outta the front fenders. I messed around on my e30 and added something near an inch(~25mm) of width

You already mentioned it earlier anyways. Either way, he rubs like hell. No doubt.

[AbsorbantNut]

So is it possible for 225 all around? I am going to say yes. Possible without rubbing? If you have coils w/ a suitable spring rate yes. On lowering springs, no

[mbonanni]

Lets go with that.

I hardly ever rubbed in the rear with zero roll and that setup. I had to have a rear seat full of people to rub in the rear. The front is more my concern. At et 20 my fenders got trashed even at that height. I was running 500f/700r gc and revalved bilsteins.

My old setup compared to E38 Style 5's with 18mm/20mm adapters and 205/50's

The height in the front might be problematic, but looks doable if I pull a little but. I am going to try it out once I get my new suspension on and report back.

If you're not slammed and have camber plates you should be fine

[lambo]

I would literally trade you my wheels with 205/45's for yours with 205/50's lol

:rippedoff: I've been messing around with washers & math this whole time and there's a legit website for this type of stuff!!??!?! :hitler:


side note- my friend just texted back and says he only rubs on hard bumps/pot holes in the rear, not under accel. But he didn't mention extra people in the back. It'll def rub if you're rolling deep with the squad waffleswaffleswaffles, as mbobannie said

The pull will solve all. And a splash of camber if you don't want to pull them aggressively. You don't even need to get adjustable ones, you can run fixed plates from IE. What's your new suspension?

[mbonanni]

New suspension is the catuned couls. So it will have camber plates and 450f/650r. I will be putting adjustable camber on the rear as well, just not sure when.

Yeah then I wouldn't worry about fitting 205/50's. Might take a little bit of dialing in but rolled fenders should accommodate it easy.

Why the jump from ground control to cat? Are the bilsteins just getting tired?
