Perhaps nobody will ever read this but for what its worth i did this MUTI delete on my first e30 318is, and on my current one (going for sale next year) i will be replacing everything as from the factory with new parts. Installing some hokey hoses and not having it fit factory, as well as zero benefit from deleting the TB heater plate, is not worth it to me. However, if you wanna do it, its easy when youre in there

Front was ok because the fender arch is not as low as in the rear. Also more clearance with suspension. I am on HR sports. Not supersports like you.

Were they 215/45? I was thinking of just going 205 but that’s more stretch than I’d like on 16x8.5. I’m thinking 215/45 with a normal fender roll will work

I had 16x7.5 et20 with 215s and would rub in the rear. I am lowered and had to roll my fender. I am now with 205s and no rubbing.

This is for both the front and rear?

Some say 225/45 will rub. What about 215/45?

So after 32 year and one week from my car coming off the factory line, the hood shock was replaced. It went bad a few weeks ago and the hood wouldn't stay open if it was just touched or while on a slight incline. I opted to get the OE part as it was just few dollars more and it has the work E30 labeled on it, which I fine cool. here is before and after:
