Best rear tyre size on a 9j rim? 60mm Lowered convertible

[e30-unit-soldier]

I got some staggered wheels for my cab the rear tyres will rub most definitely as the car is lowered just wanted to know what tyre size would be good for the rear?

Also are "stretched" tyres very safe?

7 1/2 j front
9 j rear

D reg 325i cab 60mm lowered

I have heard stories of stretched tyres coming off the rim quite a lot!
I wouldnt lets put it that way

A good guide is to use the website willtheyfit.com you put your existing wheel set up rim size,et, rim width and tyre sizes then put in your new wheel set up and the tyres you want to run and it will tell you all the things you need to know plus a diagram of your old wheel set up against your new
Hope this helps

You may well have to roll your arches, but 215/40 is the way to go if you are that low on 9's

[MattTheHat325]

Presuming they are 16's that is

I have run stretched tyres on my cab for the past three years with no issues what so ever...

What's size tyres?

Been told you can go 195/45/16 all round with 9j on the back and 7 1/2 on the front.. Might give that a try

I am looking at 225/45/16 on Hartge 16 inch rims and Hartge suspension or 215/50/16; has anyone tried these options?

195 =

Sounds good
