Hi all! Couple of weeks ago I have purchased a set of style 356 20s for my 545. Those things are BIG but the price was too god to pass so they are sitting in my garrage now I wrapped them with Bridgestones re760 255/30/20 fronts and 275/30/20 rear. Original sport package setup is 245/40/18 et20 fronts the rears are 275/35/18 et32. The et for the new ones is 33 front and 44 rear. I know I will need a spacers to run those. Would any of knowledgable forum members advice on the size of them, maybe someone tried those particular tire/wheel combo in this size on its own car. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

52 views and no reply. This forum is now more interested in angel eyes and led lights. Used to be so many helpful and knowledgable people here. I will keep on trying though.

I run 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear so you should be fine.

Help is greatly appreciated. I have a bmw sport package suspension. not lowered. If the rear wheel is offset 44 and will adding 15mm spacer would it make offset 29? Does it work that way? original style 124 comes with 32offset in the back and 20 in the front. I would not want to roll fenders as I am not hellaflush kida guy. Thanks!

Yes it works that way.
What are the widths of the wheels. Knowing the widths along the offsets is essential to determine the right spacer size.

Ok, you could go even as thick as 20mm spacers in front and 30mm in rear. I wouldn't ride that thick spacers myself, though. Well, maybe 20mm...
