Charles,

I am thinking about running the same wheel and tire combination (e38 wheels & 225/50/16's) all the way around. However, I have the car lowered slightly (1") with H&R springs and Bilstein HD's.
With this in mind, do you think this wheel and tire combination will work? Also, are you using a spacer on the front wheels? And if you are, does it give the front wheels a wider track than the rear wheels?

TIA for any help,

Shawn,

I switched from 205/55/16 to 225/50/16 on the front with no problem. Tires are Kumho Supra Ecsta's on 16x8 e38 rims w/et23 offset.

keep up the good work!
