8X16 ET24 wheels

[halboyles]

Has anyone used this size wheel on the E9s? If so, what size tire did you end up using?

225 50 16
At the rear
Front with 7x16 e11 205 55

Front fender has to rol a bit the edge.

Got 5mm track wide on rear axle

Those look great on your E9. So I guess their is no easy way to use 8X16, E24 wheels on the front?

Depend on the tire size I think.
But also due to the big backspace they could have contact on the back side.

All over,
I don't know
You have to try it.

But why so big rims on the front?
They both look identical from the outside due to the different backspace
11 vs 24

Very nice! Yes, I have the 8X16s for the rear.

What do you have for the front? Usually that size is the rear size paired with a 16x7et11 front.

 

[halboyles]

That is exactly what I have.
