Hi folks

I'm after some thoughts on the look of these tyres on my E23.

The size is 225/50/16 which by my calculations keeps the gearing near identicle to stock.

I can't help but feel that the tyre looks too small. Or am I being nuts?

The ride height is stock.

What do you think?

Could go down to 15's but I like these wheels.

Cheers

I'd go more on how it drives - wheels look fine --- you should see my X5 with Pirelli scorpions on 17 inch rims compared to the low profile 19's we run on the road, the reverse of your issue - tyres look enormous!!!

yeah well I wont know for sure until I get 4 new tyres. That's why I was wondering if they looked ok. Don't want to spend the money if its going to look weird.

Looks good IMHO.

Could do with a little more 'low' though.

may do that. E23 lower springs a bit harder to source. Not impossible though.

E23's seem especially high in the front.

sorry for the high-jack, but that car looks familiar.(having owned/resto'd around 4 e23's)

got a front-on pic?

More low Will fix every thing 

I'm open to the idea, although I kinda like the ride height at the back. Front I think is gonna have to go down a bit.
