tyre size?

[Jamie8GTi]

Hey guys haven't been on for a while, I'm looking to buy some tyres for my e30 but not really sure on profile, probably looking to go a little smaller than oem, the wheels i've got are some rs 001's 15x8.5 for the rear and 15x7.5 on the front, want a tiny bit of stretch for looks, but then also they fit very snug (not sure on offset) but it may help the fitment of them!

These wheels are only really for sensible driving and shows anyway.






Ideally (if its not asking to much) could anyone post up a picture of their e30 rocking 15's? Originally i had some after market sliders on it which were 15", but the rubber band tyres made for a terrible ride and far to low for my liking!

also any favourable brands?
cheers guys I'll be posting more updates on my thread as soon as the christmas hols kick in!!

I'd probably go for something like a 195 50 front and 205 50 rear.

Still reasonable sidewalls to help fill the arches, and a little stretch with a decent sidewall will give a nice rounded edge rather than the silly euro stance look. Rears would look a little more stretched, which would help show off their extra width.

I fear the 205/50 will look a tad ballooned

A 205/45 may be a better bet.

I've booked in with a local lot to trial fit some 55's! we set on 185/55 and 205/55's

If I dont like em they are a decent lot and I can keep switching until im happy for same price personally went for 15's so I could go for bigger tyres! while keeping a nice subtle drop! pics will follow!!!
