Done it. 205 tires are the biggest you can go without spacers.

Thnx,
You're car sits nice and I like the "period correct look" with the 15" wheels. That VW set sold fast. I think black looks better with a white car. Red and silver looks right. I'm gonna go Falken RT615 205/50-15. maybe with Konig Rewinds with the spokes painted black. Keep the silver lip.

I had the RT-615s on them too, great tires.

I only had that setup on the car for about a week, I really only bought them due to curiosity (wanted to know if the 615's could clear the struts with them). They need spacers to look good.

I don't want spacers. I might go with these and paint the center black as well. 15x7 et20

What size spacers would you need to make them look good? I am kind of considering a set:

15mm would be enough. For the record, they have the exact same specs as the BBS RZ's I posted above on my car.

Another question... tried to search thru the thread but had trouble finding anything specific...

17x8 ET20 with 205/40R17 (yes I know the tires are a bit small, but meh... pretty close)

Fit OK?

Hi

First, sorry about my bad english skills.

It's time for new wheels for my E30, and i found some nice rims that i will order soon. Keskin KT1.

The size are: 8.5x17 ET 20.
with 215/40 tire.

My question is: Will this size fit perfect on a E30 Coupe? I don't understand exactly what offset (ET 20) means, but what do you think?

Will i ran into some problems?

My car is lowered, but not insane lowered

Here is the car with 17'' 215/40

Thanks

Yeah those are no problem. A member here ran those in front and the 17x10 version in the rear.

With the 215/40/17 tire the most you would have to do is a slight fender roll in the back. But depending on the tire used, you may be able to get away without it.

Oki
Do you mean i need fender roll, if i go for 17x10 in the rear? Or 8.5x17 also?

17x8.5 also. But again, you most likely won't need it.

[mortenstj]

Ok. Sounds good.
I think i will buy ET30, then use 10mm spacer. That will be ET20 right?

No, don't do that. Get the ET20 version (bigger lips). It's seriously not a concern.
