they are replica M parallels
13 offset F
23 offset R
what do i have to keep the OD of the tire under?
i really hate how they made the front springs sit right over the tires on these cars
thanks guys,

They should fit, I don't know about tire size...

alright thanks
i have 225/50/16, and it already looks a bit tight, i think the OD was 24.9?
i might just get a different size tire, 245/45/16?
i know the back will probably fit a good 10" wide rim and a tire with 27" OD
but the front is tricky, i hope someone who has had this experience can help me out
i also might be putting some H&R springs up front

If you go to www.tirerack.com or and use a tire size calculator like www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp ...you can figure out very easy which size 18" tire you need to mount as you plus size.
The TireRack website will give you the recommended "plus size" 18 tire you need to mount (just follow their links as if you were going to purchase "tires")...once you get the recommended plus size 18" tire for the e23...then you can use the tire size calculator to manipulate other tire sizes that you may be considering.
Good luck.

well im pretty sure i can fit the 25.1 OD, since the tires i have now are 24.9
but what im really worried about is the width of the tire, i want some wider tires up front, but i dont want it hitting the lower part of the springs, also if you have any pics of an e23 with 18 or 19" wheels let me know,
thanks again guys.
