    ESM 002r common tires?

    I've bought some ESM's and I know 215's will fit with no spacers or rolling so I'm looking at who has what tires on their 16x8's? Et20!

    Alright, what "look" are you going for?
    Do you plan to add spacers?

    Nowadays, we must know this before properly answering questions like this.

        205/45 (only if you're very very low.)
        205/50
        215/45
        225/40
        225/45

        Rear might need a roll with the bigger tires.
        Front might need a small spacers if you're on coilovers and not stock housings (collar might hit tire).

          Sweet! Good to know what'll fit on the E30. Plus I'm not very low, just on IE3's.

            I am running 195/45/16's on my style 5's. They are 16x8. They are stretched a tad.

              205/50 is what I would do at your height

                  FYI these will need a spacer to clear the front caliper. A 5mm will do. Some have grinded down their calipers as well.

                    ESM-002R for E30 Baur (stock)

                    Am interested in running ESM-002R's 16x8 ET20 with 205-50's....my e30 is stock ride height and suspension. Is this a straight bolt on package without spacers or fender rolling? I have seen conflicting information in previous posts and other threads specific to ESM wheels.

                    If anybody is willing to photo shop ESM-002R's onto the attached E30 Baur with the following variations wheel lip/center I would be extremely greatful:

                    silver/silver
                    silver/gold
                    bronze/black

                    Thanks!

                      I'm running the same wheel and tire combination. It was bolt on for my car and I am running a little lowered with a ground control coilover set up. My rears may have been rolled a bit before but I am not sure. At stock ride height, I can't imagine you would have any issues.
