just to fit really, I'm sure if they did then they'd be pretty flush. I'm not too worried about needing a spacer, I'd rather that right now honestly. I figured it would be pretty close if not stick out a bit. I'm not dropped yet, but will be on coils(at least at first) soon enough. I just don't have the time to put the car into the shop to have the fenders reworked.

I'm considering throwing on some bbs reps in 19x8.5 all around with +40 offset. The tires are 245-40-19. My car is dropped (not slammed) and I have no fender mods. I'm sure these will clear fine but will they be too sunk in? Any suggestions? To make them fit more aggressive would you guys suggest spacers? If so what size? Thanks!

I am going with some BMW 7 Series wheels on my 2GS, with shaved rear and rolled front fenders. 19x9 and 19x10 with +5 offsets all around. A friend use to have the same set up and it sat flush on his GS. However when I get them on my car, dropped with maxed out camber it isnt sitting as I expected, tire is basically sitting on the tire. Anyone know why this may be?
Am I gonna have to adjust my coilovers even lower to get the tires to cave in more? I believe about 12mm of tires still needs to be tucked.

So I'm lowered on BC coils atm and i have 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rear. It's time for new tires and a bunch of friends say i should go for the stretched tire look. Right now i have 235/35/19f and 275/35/19r, they're saying i should go for 225/35/19f and 245/35/19r, good or bad idea? Idk too much about tires so i thought i would ask the community what they think.
