Debating tire fitment options... opinions? (e36 content)

[TheJakeR]

So I'm running 215/35/18 toyo t1-r's up in front and I think they look great. Not sure what you all think, but I'd like some recommendations before I go out and buy a set of rear tires. Coils will be dropped all-around, and I want to pick up another set of tires that are "fitment friendly."






What do you think of the front tire size? I have my fenders rolled (slightly flared), and would like to move into an aggressive wheel fitment. Not sure what size spacer I will need, but maybe something around 20-25mm.

Should I go with the same size tire for the rear? Toyo also makes a 205/35/18 that I could use also.

Love the toyos, but everyone is also running the fuzion's because they're cheap. They make a 205/40/18 size... is the 40 sidewall going to be too large you think? I don't mind paying extra for the toyo's if you think they will look better.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Jake

Needs to be lower to pull off that much stretch in the front...

[TheJakeR]

it will definitely be lower. I'm just waiting to crank down the coils until I have my plan sorted out and parts waiting to be installed so I only have to get one alignment done.

Ive got the same tyres. 215/35-18 toyo proxes T1R on a 8,5'' With a final offset of 18 in front and 13out back, with the rears rolled. i would do the same tyres out back. Ill post a picture of mine in a min.

Front fitment with 20mm spacers et of 18. No spacers in the back.




Here with 25mm spacers in the back, final offset of 13. Cant really see it but its all i got atm.



Sorry for the phone camera.
