E28 on OZ Fittipaldi

[11E30]

Alright guys, I have a quick question. I'm going to pick up my new set of wheels tomorrow for my 83' E28, the wheels are 17x8.5 OZ Fittipaldis. I want to have just a slight amount of stretch and I'm going to run on cut coils for now, nothing crazy but something that still looks good. Therefore my question is what tire size would you guys recommend? I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, I just don't know much about wheel setups. I appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Elvis

215/45?

Yeah that looks good, also after doing some more research I was thinking maybe 215/40? Another question, since I'm not stretching the tires that much does the brand really matter as far as "stretchability"?

I'm guessing they are ET13. So a 215/40 and 10mm spacers should give you a decent fitment, i think you will need to roll the rear fenders, not sure tho.

This is a 215/40 17x8.5ET13 with a unknown size spacer, i figure that it's around 4ish mm wide. so final ET is around 9. The fenders are not rolled.


Here is another picture. Note that the rears are a different size, also rear fenders are rolled.


More pictures are in my build thread.

Damn, I love your car! And thanks for all the feedback. However today when I picked up the wheels I realized the previous owner had no idea what he had. He gave me the wrong info but that also meant I got them for next to nothing. The actual specs are 7.5x16 ET15, so with these specs what would you guys recommend?
