    What 4x100 wheels will fit e30s?

    Ive got a 90 325, will any 4x100 rims work, even for hondas? I like the roja formula five silver or possibly gun metal because my car is black. Also the rota subzero, either in 17s. Either way though, will these work, they come in 17x7.5 with +45mm or +42mm in 4x100? thanks

    Most 4x100 will fit, it just depends on the offset, because you will need spacers to correct the offset. Keep in mind that Honda fitment is FWD, and our cars are RWD, so it's a big difference.

        Yes, except for the iX.

            RWD does not necessarily mean low offsets, keep that in mind.

              Car's don't have offsets. Stock baskets are ET30, 15" ones are ET24 even.

                No cars do not have offset, I agree,

                I guess I want to know if I go to a 8 inch wide wheel and tire, what offset do I need to end up with, consider as well that my car is dropped about 1.5 inches.

                    8" wide wheel? You'll very likely have to roll your fenders to stuff those under there, but you're looking at ET20 or below. If you keep to 7.5" wide, ET25 will work and your fenders can stay virginal.

                      I have an early car btw, I guess 7 inches would be enough, so et25? I think I found a set I like, but I wonder if ebay wheels are as cheap as Depo lights.

                          Usually. And you can actually run 8" wide wheels, ask Ryan Stewart for advice on offset.

                          Just get Ronals, they are cheap, strong, 7.5" wide, and look awesome with no spacer requirement. I'd be surprised as hell if you found 4x100 wheels that don't require spacers on E-bay (besides BBS RS', etc.).

                            Well these come with spacers for the e30 setup.
                            I was just wondering about quality, I mean you usually get what you pay for, and these are round 600 I think including spacers and longer bolts.

                              Of course I know our cars our rear wheel drive, its the reason they handle the way they do, its why bmws are cars for drivers and why they perform well, its why we buy bmws! I guess I'm just trying to find a nice looking wheel that not many other guys are using on their e30's. If the wheels are for fwd what is the difference? Just the offset? And if the offset is +42mm is that enough to where I need a spacer?
