            That's what I was looking for. square setup so I can run a 235 on them. Much better than I thought. Can you take a pic from the front? I would like to see how much poke there is on the front fender. Also what size tires on the 8.5?

              They do look great. Caps look 100 times better too, however i like the bit of chrome or machined or whatever in the center my caps offer

                I hate how the front pops out due to the low offset. In fact, they stick out about 15mm more than the rears...reverse staggered LOL. Not feeling these wheels...I really had high hopes for these. Ended up getting Miros :)

                  The fronts do not pop out 15mmm more than the rears;)
                  Et 20 is the right Et for 8.5 all around:)
                  Thanks for the feedback though....

                    I have 15mm spacers and I can tell you based on this picture that the front wheels are definitely sticking out about 15mm or more than the rears. You can see how the rears tuck. Guys, if you want a reverse staggered setup (aka front wheel drive staggered) then these are the wheels to go with.

                      I can tell you that I saw the car in person and the front wheels do not stick out 15mm:up: These are et 20 all around which is the right Et.... Also they are a DIRECT FIT for the e30 unlike other wheels ( Miro's) which need spacers and longer bolts ;)

                        This is why I asked for a pic of the front wheels from a different point of view. To show if there was poke or not.

                          At least spacers and extended lug bolts can fix the offset on the Miros. Unfortunately, in this situation it cannot. The only solution at this piont is to pop the rears to match the fronts, but that means the car will have to be raised because of the arch clearance. Such a disappointment with these beautiful wheels :(

                            I'm also solidly opposed to "front-only poke." However, the difference in "offset" is there no matter what wheels you use. It is built into the suspension design and common on many different makes of car. The difference front to rear on an e30 is more like 5-8mm, not 15mm.

                            It is certainly something to consider when dealing with aggressive offsets. Staggered wheels and/or playing with spacers is how you remedy the situation.

                            On the car pictured above, he could roll the rear fenders, throw on some 8mm spacers (on the rears), and he'd be golden.

                              The black car above has rolled fenders... That might also be why you think there looks like some extra room... But in either case the fronts DO NOT stick out 15mm further out than the back wheels...
