    Advice on running a 255/50/16 on a et 15 16x9 wheel on rear of a flared e30? I know it is a huge diameter tire. Just trying to get the most traction possible. Also trying to put a 225/50/16 on et 20 16x 7.5 on the front of the same flared car

      Have a set of 16x9 klutch wheels
      Currently running 205/50/16, minor rub up front. Running firestone allseason 710s

      Looking to switch to DunlopDZ102s
      205/45/16
      I see the tread width on tire rack goes from 7.2 on firestone to 6.7 on the Dunlop DZ102
      Will this cause a massive stretch look? or will it be negligible?

        No. Not even close.

Car is a 1992 vert lowered on Ground Control Coilovers with offset CABs. Wheels I want to eventually fix and put on are 16x7.5 ET25 all around (Racing Dynamics RGP's). From what I have read, 205/50, 215/45, or 225/45 should fit. I just wasn't sure if I would have rubbing issues with any of these tire sizes since the car is lower than stock.

          Thanks!
          Any of those. No rubbing.

              Too bad, they don't fit. 195/40 or 195/45 works. 205/40 will rub.

I'm trying to figure out how wide of a tire I can fit on it in the rear and what will be functional in the front. This is for my turbo m52 build.
                No idea for flares, sorry.

Sitting on Megan coilover's, I probably need to run a spacer up front. But I want to run a meatyish setup, I'm wondering if a 215-45-16 will fit and not rub? My fenders are not rolled or pulled.
                  5-8mm front spacers and none in the rear, yup those fit.

                        how about what tire to run on a 15x9 in the front when the rears will have a 15x10 with a 275/50r15 mounted on it?

                          Hi Jay. Thanks for being here after all these years. I have a question about tire size for a 16x7.5 et20 wheel.

                          I see most people run 205/45 but 205/50 has a more similar rolling diameter. Any difference in fit? Car is on H&R sports. Convertible with lower rear arches

                          Thanks!

                            205/50 is perfect on a 16
