not knowing the width of your rims i would say 40 profile on your tyres to keep close to the same rolling radius or you will start to throw the speedo out. What wheels are they?

This is my guess as i have 16x8 Alpina's on the back of my car. 225-40-17 would be the size i think would be best. I've heard of lowered cabs (40mm) on 17x7.5 being fine with no rubbing. One bloke on here has an 80mm drop on 17's!

Hi

Most E30 off set is about 25. If you put on 38, then you may need 10mm spacers.
