E36: 17x10 et20 Doable?

[slowbluem3]

Hey guys I'm looking to pick up a set of wheels. They're 17x10 et20 rear and 17x8 et30 up front. Am I going to have fitment issues? It's a e36 verrt. On BC coils.

Thanks in advance.

Bumppppp. Anyone have a similar set up? Fitment issues?

How big are your rear flares?

[slowbluem3]

Stock rear flares. I'm trying to get the most I possibly can out of the rear without rolling.

you will need a roll and a good amount of pull and a super stretched tire and you will still rub

I run 18x10 et19 with 255/35/18 in the rear. Not a totally aggressive roll but I could use more.

I have also ran 17x9.5 with 215 with no rubbing- I don't remember if I had used a 10mm- I'm thinking I did. Forget the offset on those.

If you want to stretch some really narrow tires onto those rims, it might work. The rim lip is much lower than the tire, and there is more space lower. I am considering 17 x 10 with 275/40/17 in the rear, and would need flares since the tires are also 10 inches wide and are further up in the wheel well where there is less space.

You will need to pull you fenders quite a bit. I ran an 18x10 et 25 with 225/40 and still hitting the wheel to the fenders. My fenders are pulled and flared a lot.

I run 17x10 et20 w/ 255/40-17 squared. 15mm spacers on the front, and nothing on the rear. I spent a good amount of time rolling and pulling the fenders, but nothing stupid extreme on my coupe.

I wouldn't prefer to run a 215 or a 225 tire because of the risk of a blow out. I'm a very aggressive driver and I need to the wheel/tires to withstand that. I might have to do 17x9 in this case. Body modifications is out of the question just because the car is in such grate shape.

if I was to run a 235 tire I should be able to make it fit with minimal rubbing if you fit a 255 with some minor rolling.

a 255/35 at et19 is no minor roll lol thats a pull if not crazily cambered. I have 17x10 et25 rears with a 215/45 and i dont rub at all, and only have the rear lip rolled in. And you can fit any size wheel/tire on the back if youre not lowered.

Im pretty much "slammed" and i have no problem doing crazy camber, which arms are you using in the rear?
