    E36 Coupe with E39 Style 66,

    Have an E36 318is, Standard unrolled archs... Anyone know what size tyres I need to run to fit E39 Style 66?

    Fronts are 8J ET20, Rears are 9J ET26.

    215/45 all round?

    Hobbs ran them on his e36 as well so might be worth a pm. Also is the bore size the same or will you need spigot rings

    Bore will be 74.1, definitely need spigot rings. Get metal ones if you can, will be worth it! Plastic ones don't last at all.

    Was atleast hoping to run a 215/45, Not comfortable with skinny stretched tyres.

    Looks like I need to roll arches or get another set of wheels!

    You will need roll to avoid rubbing. It's close though.
