[Pantless Spency]

by no means am i a bandwagoner ;)
and i hate when people gripe about that, of course people will be proud of there local athletic team....

[HerbReal]

I've been a giants fan and today's game is pretty draining..but time to recollect and do better on the NLCS.

The Nats need to be eliminated.

Saw a black, lowered e46 touring in Chico. Is its owner on here?

15" is too small for an e30. If you run a proper diameter tire (205/50 or similar) on a 16, you're gonna have quite a lot of tire. With 15's you either have balloon-ey tires or stupid looking profiles.

Quoted for stupid. I run 15's and I've never gotten so many compliments than with any other wheel setup including 16's and 17's.

^And I just realized i was a couple pages behind... Oops!

[JNasti]

Okay fellas so i have some fitment questions. Just picked up these style 5's and they're 16x8 et23.
I'm currently running staggered XXR style 6 17x8(205/45/17) and 17x9(215/45/17).
I really dont know what tire size i want to run with these 16's.
I will be purchasing the 4x100 to 5x120 adapters soon as well and im thinking 18mm front and 20mm rear?? Suggestions please!

[bernzpeed]

aren't they gonna stick out because those adapters are really thick?

[JNasti]

aren't they gonna stick out because those adapters are really thick?

i dont believe they should at all I've seen people run 0 offset and if im not mistaken the 18mm adapters should put the wheel to a -5 offset with the wheels being et23

[golde30]

Adapters only come in 20mm and up I believe. I ran 20mm on those same wheels with 225/45/16 and they rubbed pretty hard, but with an aggressive roll you should be ok. Or run 205/45/16 or 225/40/16.

[mbonanni]

adapters come in 18mm+

Talk to the 8380 labs, or something like that.

I will be running
Front - 17x8 et20 with 18mm adapters to put it at et2
Rear - 17x8 et20 with 23mm adapter to put it at et-3
