the 195 looks gewd.

[e30trooper]

what do you recommend then? 185 isn't all that much of a stretch. plus i actually might be able to fir 50's.

your talking about tires for the style 5's? personally id put some bigger tires but i wouldn't be going for looks. id go with a 225/50/16 all around. But yeah 175 or even 185 isnt much tire on the ground.

[ethrtyiS]

yes, but when your slammed? i'm not looking to destroy the tires. i want them tucking under the fender nicely. 225 is huge. i'd do 205 or lower.

whats your offset going to be? 0? id trade up my 205's for a 225s anyday.

[ethrtyiS]

you can no read?

what you think with et3 front, et0 rear?

[e30trooper]

you can no read?

20mm spacers? lolz im sorry didnt know you going hella flush

[einstein57]

I say 195s at the leats. What's the point of having an e30 on coilovers if it can't handle from no grip.

[mRodiek]

185 looks stupid.

The 195 is okay but 205 better but Im definately not a hellaflush guy.

If I had 8" wide Id be going with 225 for max tyte grip yo

[mkcman17]

but at et0 225 is going to be too square to tuck?

What is your reasoning behind supporting impractically low cars with wheel dimensions that do no favors for the handling of the car vs cars set up to hold the road and handle well?


Its like a girl in high-heel shoes. Who cares if she can't run a mile. She looking sexy as hell.
if she needs to run a mile, she can put on some running shoes when she goes to the gym.
You dig?

^^ :rofl:

[djmoska]

so what are you guys doing????

[ethrtyiS]

kev is right...lol.

205s just might be wayyy to square to tuck up in the fenders. if i'm going to already be rolling and pulling my fenders, i want a tire that isn't going to be shredded but something that can be tucked. it's either 185 or 195's for me then.

It's going to look reaaaaaaaaaally awkward from the rear with 195/185 AND spaced out.
Like a girl spreading her legs apart and trying to walk. Such a narrow width.

195/50 or 205/45 looks the best for that type of fitment. It's only an 8'' wheel.

It'll look like this, because it's an 8'' on stretched and aggressively spaced wheel:


Compared to this, on a 9+'' wheel that is spaced:


The difference is it fills up the inside of the wheel-well
