Hey guys and girls

Thinking of putting banded wheels on my e30 but was just wondering how wide can i go without any work ?

And if i was to have the arches rolled/flared how wide could i go before i hit the inner arch ?

P.s. will be either 15' / 16'

Thanks peeps

Ive got 15" VW G60 steels banded to 8" on my E30

When i have my 5mm spacers on the rear it rubs a touch even with minor arch rolling.. you might be able to push 9's on a full rolled/flared arch

But im using 195/45's.. might be able to go wider using a skinner tyre also
