    It's nothing special really, Bassett 15x8 steel D hole stock car wheels, 4x100. Tires are 225/50/15. I had to roll the inside edge of the rear fenders, and I need to roll the front a little after I get the caliper brackets shaved down, so I can ditch the 8mm spacers.
    Gotcha. Think I could get away with 225/50/15s on a narrower wheel without rolling or shaving?

      I kind of half ass rolled the back on mine. And I need to roll the front. I would say a lot just depends on how stiff your suspension is

        Right. I plan on slapping in some koni yellow adjustables and keeping my stock IS springs, plus M3 endlinks and fresh hardware (tower bushings, new bump stops and so on, E36 offset FCABs, etc) so not super stiff but not totally squishy either.
