Hey guys,
Steve B. was managing and originally started this Group Buy through my user account, but he is no longer with the company. I'm stepping back in to breath new life into this deal and to get this project over the finish line.
We just launched the official E30 M3 deal as we had enough votes to proceed, and we knew what sizes and finishes to offer. This Group Buy on the other hand does not have a clearly defined fitment yet for the concave wheels that have been requested. My objective is to advance this deal to a point where there is consensus on what fitments will be offered. Once we have that we can launch the formal deal on the platform we've been using.
We know one fitment to offer is the 17x8" ET25 wheel, but we've seen interest in both 8.5" and 9" concave wheels.
Could we get consensus on a 17x8.5" ET20 wheel? I don't believe the offset could be much higher without contacting the strut tube.
Regarding brake clearance: The 17x8" wheel has a flat face which does clear BBKs such as Lee's kits. The concave wheels clear stock brakes no problem but will not clear a BBK because of the concave spokes.

That is unfortunate the concave wheel will not clear a BBK. I was really hoping for it to clear as I like the look a lot. Now I am unsure as to what I want for wheels. I was really banking on a concave design working.
Edit: I figure a small spacer would probably rectify the clearance issue and is something I would consider.

As stated, spacer will generally fix that issue. Probably better to keep the offset where it works for people not running flares/bbk rather then push the offset out and force people to also get flares. Much easier to just instsll a spacer if need be then have everyone need to get flares.
