    If 17x10 will cause too much of a headache , I like the Mtechnica turbos, too.

    Specs would be 16x8.5 all around et 15.

    This would be my goal if I go with 16's instead, this is my second choice of wheel.

    Thanks for the advice.

I have been reading through the whole thing (dang it's a lot) and I have found my answer several times lol. Dang lazy people, won't read no posts lol. I am looking at ome 17x8's with a et30 and some 235 45 tires.
      Those wheels will need spacers and smaller tires. At minimum 5mm front and 235/40 tires.

        Those wheels fit absolutely beautifully with 205/45 tires and nothing else. I saw that E30 at H2Oi, looked really nice.

            Too skinny for flush, but 25mm front 30mm rear is a start.

                    Those straight up don't fit. About an inch and a half outside of the car.

                      Could I run a 225/45 17 to get a little more sidewall? And what springs would you recommend to close the gap and perform well without slamming the car?

                        Great. Thank you!

                          No. I always recommend coilovers on E30s, especially BCs.

                            So..I have a flawless, essentially brand new set of style 7's..they are 15's but I am not sure of the offset and they have a 7.5 width. Would these work for my 325is? I am aware that they are 5 lug.
