I could use some help with tire size and offset. Car is stock, but maybe down the road will get some coilovers. Any advice is appreciated.

Well, what are they available in? What look do you want?

Size will be 16x8. Looking for a nice clean look.
Don't want to roll the fenders if I don't have to.

+22 with 205/50/16s is a great setup for what you're looking for.

Will the tires stick out all all?
Off of 22 all the way around?

Hi Mystikal
I have a 325i cabrio sitting on vogland springs.
Will 17x7.5 15mm offset 205/40/17 tires work?
Thanks

5 Lug Swap Fitment
I'm planning to do a 5 lug swap on my 1988 Cabrio using E36 M3 front knuckles, calipers, and struts. For the rear I'll probably use E36 Z3 hubs and calipers.
I also have access to a set of 16X7 ET46 style 42 wheels.
Any thoughts on whether this will work and if fender rolling is required ?
Also, what are the recommended tire sizes ?
Thanks

Wheels don't clear E36 M3 brakes.

Is it the offset or the diameter that won't clear the M3 brakes ?

Spoke clearance, which in this case is mostly affected by the diameter. Very few 16" wheels clear E36 M3 brakes.

Wheel/Tire Fitment for E30 323i Baur
I am interested in fitting Privat Remember (BBS reps) to my '85 323i Baur. I am considering 16x7 wheels with 205-50-16 tires. The suspension is stock. I do not want to roll fenders. Should I be considering ET20/BS 4.79 or ET35/BS 5.38.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi... Not sure if this is still running?
Can I run 17 x 9 ET35 all round (without any mods) on E30? BC Racing Coilovers installed - lowered but not crazy low. I still need to go over bumps. Thanks

How to fit my Borbet B's 9j et15 all round on my E30
Hey fellow bimmer heads
This thread has been a very interesting read, need some help with the exact fitment to get me beautiful wheels on my beloved car...
Car = E30 325i convertible 91
Suspension = H&R Cup suspension kit 60mm drop on front 40mm drop on rear
Wheels = Borbet B' s 16x9j ET 15
Tyres = stretched 225/40/r16
Fenders/arches have been rolled already
Currently the wheels are hitting the suspension leg, I know I need spacers but how many mm would allow the gap for the suspension to be cleared but not poke out too much.
Thanks in advance
Ozzy

Need same details
Just bought a 323i from '83 and need the same 16" 9 wide wheel details. Can't find anything anywhere on that specifically and definitively.
