E30 Zone

Has anybody put lower profile or even stretched tyres on standard 15" BBS, I would like to see how this looks even if it does look utterly sh!te!

Looks shyte mate, not even worth picturing

I think there was a cabby for sale on here that had low profile/stretch tyres on 15" BBS, looked very odd.

Thats a shame Thanks for the reply anyway

No problem

IMO you need deep dish wheels to pull off the stretched tyre look, something like a 195/40 or 205/40 on a 9" wheel

I had 195.50r15" on 15" BBS wheels and they looked a bit lost in the arches even when lowered 40mm.

Let me do some digging ;)

195/50 is the best i can do

I was thinking more 165/45

I've got an E30 at the min with 195/45s on and have to say it looks gash.

My old iS with 195/50r15s and e21 centre caps:

I took this from pigman's tyre choice thread, the tyres are 195/45/15

Your right, rather poo! Thanks guys

I had 195,45,15s on the OZ rims I had when I bought them. Soon got changed for 205 55's.

My M3's on 195/50/15's & its something like 30mm lower at the rear and 20mm at the front.
The main reason is that it was the best fit for some decent winter tyres. If I get a mo I'll take a pic or 2.

All the PBMW race cars run on 195/50/15's as well & they are dragging their asses on the floor & if they ran a higher profile they would foul the arches.

195/50r15s are also a much cheaper size, especially compared to 205/55r15

Not bbs but 195/50 made these Mims look pretty gash on my car.





195/45's on the front here also

not so standard but thought I'd share the 195.45's

195/45/15 is sooooooo far wrong its unreal, its what i use on the turbo ka to keep the wheel size the same as the 175/65/13s !

a 205/50/15 is the one you want, failing that a 205/55

they were fitted when I bought them - I whole heartedly agree that there's no better than 205.50's, but it's cute around the bends ...to a fashion

you need dish, et and a serious drop to pull it off
