      17's only look good with tiny tires and stance-to-make-her-dance lowness.

      16's or 15's FTW.

            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.

                There are only a handful of e30's that actually pull off 17's. 16'S just fit too perfect to go a size bigget=)

                          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.

                            205/40 on EERRRYYYTTHHAANNGGG.

                            I do wish we had some good 195/40 options tho.

                              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.

                                  What offset? With a roll the biggest I have seen out back was a 235.

                                  I run 225/45 square.

                                  ...

                                      I think he suggested the 245 because its spec for a 9" wheel. I just want em flush and filling the wheel well.

                                        Here's a 16"x9" ET10 on a 205/40..... A 245 or 235 is gonna be...."tight".

                                        12EE2664-A0E8-4F20-8F1B-0C6648A70103.jpg

                                        My fenders are rolled, but a "flat" sideway I don't think will fit at all.
