Howdy! Long time lurker, first time thread starter... :D
Anyways, buying a set of 949 Racing wheels for the ol girl and wanted to get some insight as to what direction I should go.
Obviously, we know that several are running 15x8 or 15x9 with spacers and wider tires. However, I cannot seem to find much regarding the spec wheel that is designed specifically for the E30.
I know several want wider wheels and wider tires. This is for only the 15x7 E30 spec wheel guys. If you have a compelling reasoning to go wider that trumps my thoughts towards the spec wheels, by all means.
My questions:
1) Do you need to roll front and/or rear fenders? Heard that you may have to, but may be based on what suspension setup and how low the car is set for race or street.
2) Optimal tire size that seems to work the best. I know some guys may stretch, but I am not wanting that look or lack of performance.
3) If you have a pic, that would be great.
4) I have heard from some that they are OK with the rears being tucked in a tad. I have even heard that it is something to consider leaving and adding spacers is more of personal preference/look rather than a benefit or performance gain.
That's really it. Hope to see some responses!
