You will need a spacer... 10-15mm. Offset should be around 25 for  a 7.5 inch wide wheel. Tire size 225/45/16 should fit with no rubbbing.
Dunlop tires have served me well in the past..
The Kuhmo Ecsta 712 is a great value..
Goodyear is a good company, you may not find
many Goodyear tire in that size..

Hi,

I'm going to buy me some MK Motorsports Alloys in the size 16x7,5J ET 35. According to the specialists they will fit fine. I want to put some 225/45 R16 rubber around them.

Must I modify my car (100% original E30 M3) or will they run without scrapping at the fenders?

Which tyre make is a good choice for an E30 M3 (dunlop, continental, michelin, good year???)

Greetz, Jerry from Holland
