My 16x7.5 ACS Type I's are ET25 with 225/45's and they fit perfectly all the way around with no fender rolling. No room for a 245 in front with out rolling/flaring but would fit in the back.

17X7 with 25mm offset. 215/45X17. Tire Rack's site also lists under "Specs" the tread width of most tires. In the above size the tread width varies from 7.4" to 8.3".

i see you're new here, go to the member profile section and start a thread with pictures, it'd be nice to know a little more about you and your car!!

i dont want to hijack this intersting thread. i'm also considering new wheels and tires depending on the budget left after the restoration.

I have 15x7" ET13 MiM 1800's
A staggered set of Ronal Racing 3 piece mag wheels 15x8 ET-6 out back, ET 12 up front.
A broken down set of BBS RS wheels, hopefully 15x9 all the way around.

Opps, forgot to mention it's an E21. Standard fitment is ET 13 on a 7" wheel for my model.
Ronal, centers are out for powder coat, not a fan of the blue:

MiM's: In need of work:

Center caps I made for the MiM's:

I'm a wheel whore.

I hope you plan on keeping the ronals. They're closing their distribution centers here in the states. Go figure...
