<![CDATA[How wide of a tire on 7.5" rim?]]>Looking to go as wide as possible on for my rear tires.

How wide can I go on a 7.5 and how tall can I go on a 16" rim for an E30?

Milwaukee area.  Oak Creek and Waukesha frequently during the month.  I'll be in Sturtevant tomorrow.

It will cover literally any setup you could imagine. 
I recommend the searching the printable version, should be faster.

Is that not the case on R3V?

Given a good 225 will perform better than a mediocre 255
The real problem is the chassis, not the wheel size. Have you been to r3v and checked out the tire/wheel fitment thread?

you are going to have traction issues with the m60 unless you can get to 255s.

When you say 225/45 are you talking for a 16" wheel?

Yes, I was talking 225/45/16.

There's a lot of things to factor in here. Wheel offset, ride height, rolled fenders, etc. I would think a 225/45 would suit you well. Although it doesn't seem like much width, a 225 is a pretty good size tire on an e30.

Yeah I guess there are... I love my rims, but really want to go wider. When I had my CTS-V a lot of people in the community would send their rims out to get widened since there werent many options for the 6 lug. I was going to get my suspension installed, play some with rolling fenders and see if I could get my ACs widened in the rear. Looks like I just need to drop the car then see what I am working with.

When you say 225/45 are you talking for a 16" wheel?

Wait, I thought the new thing is to go as narrow as possible....maybe a 135.

Ahhh yes, damn spell check. How NARROW can I go. Maybe a 101 would be more appropriate for me.
