TomD 0 Posted July 11, 2006 Hi All! I've just picked up a set of 15" E30 BMW BBS Cross Spokes for the corrado, as they look much like the original G60 wehels, only slightly wider and with a lower offset. Happy days. They're 7J ET24 and currently have 205-50-15's on them. The offset means they fill the arches quite nicely but the tyres a bit too chubby. I wondered what tyre sizes would be right for them... Basically if there was no other variables in it I'd go for 195-45-15's for looks, but I can't run the car too low, and so I'd risk having comedy arch gap syndrome, which I don't want 195-50-15's would obviosuly give me less clearance, but the stock stealthy OEM look, and obviosuly more arch fillage. Is there much difference in the ride? Anything else I need to consider? any other tyres to consider? The car's had no archwork, and I'm not sure how much lowered it is, but it is on fuly adjustable coilies. Any help much appreciated, also if anyone's got any 195-50-15's or 195-45-15s lying about they want to sell cheap...let me know! Cheers, Tom :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

destructiv dave 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Tom, I have the same wheels and run 195-50-15 Toyos that I got from Demon Tweeks at Inters last year (£27 each). I run widetrack front wishbones (off a Passat) that pushes the track out another 18mm each side (giving me an ET of 6) with my car lowered 40mm on Weitec suspension and don't have any rubbing or catching on the front.
