17x8 et20 wheels on e36?
Bought a set of style 122's to put on my e36.
What size tyres would suit? The car is very low, tucking rim on the rear, will arches need to be rolled?

Check out www.willtheyfit.com
I can roll the arches if needed. Plenty of guys on here have had work done and with the result.

Yeh I was checking the sizes on there, wheels should be out about 40mm more than whats on now, I'll try a wheel on tomorrow to get a better idea anyway.
The same JohnC as on dtd yeh?

Front I'm not sure, Rear will be fine on standard arch.
I'v 8J ET35 (+15mm Spacer) on mine with a 215/45 and it's okay.

205/40/17 is the exact size you'd want on the front for an 8j et20 on an e36
215/45/17 for the rear should be perfect on a standard arch (it fits a 9j et26 with no issues), it'll look nice without looking over the top too which is what you'd want.
You'll need to be fairly low to pull it off though, but I assume that's the case.
We'll need pictures once fitted

A wee little push will do the trick. Fitment is spot on.

They'll be fine and those wheels look nice on that. Different anyway. I cant upload a picture to this but pm me and i can send you a picture of 17x8 et20 style 49s with 205/45/17 on one. Will be nicer when i get proper tyres on though probably 215/40 front and 225 rear
