CMart Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I am trying to focus on getting my E30 running but this made me realize 16s at the biggest you should go on an E30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1972 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone else besides snap and I that hate the 16" tire selection?I haven't looked into it yet. How bad is it? I plan on running 16x8 & 16x9 staggered. What kida BS sizes will I be dealing with? I want as wide as possible in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1972 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just taked to Jim@Tire rack he said he has 225/45 for the fronts and 245/45-16's for the rears if I go with the wheel fitment I'm wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Those are some fat meats. What width wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 What offset? With a roll the biggest I have seen out back was a 235. I run 225/45 square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1972 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 The wheels Im thinking about getting are 16x8 et 20 and 16x9 et 15 rear. You guys tell me. Whats gonna fit with minimal work..ie no fender pulling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1972 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think he suggested the 245 because its spec for a 9" wheel. I just want em flush and filling the wheel well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Here's a 16"x9" ET10 on a 205/40..... A 245 or 235 is gonna be...."tight".My fenders are rolled, but a "flat" sideway I don't think will fit at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnt m3 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Even a 215 rear will probably require a roll. Had plenty if fun getting Eric's rears clearanced on his 318 with same wheels sizes and offsets. Being that you have an early model, the high arches will give you a little extra room.

GunMetalGrey Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Stock size sure will. Go to r3v and under the wheel and tire thread there are hundreds of people asking about specific setups and getting answers. Give it a look.
