What 4x100 wheels will fit e30s?

[rwh11385]

VW 4x100 wheels fit with no problem, same centerbore, very close offset.
Honda 4x100 wheels will fit if: 1. you have the centerbore milled out. or 2. you attack the centerbore with a die grinder. :)

yes, VW 4-lugs were 56 hub / 56.1 wheel centerbore, and some fit w/o spacers, some need some. Rosica ran VW-fitment 17x7.5 ET35 (IIRC) K1s with 15mm spacers. All I know was I wanted to copy him and bought 15mm H&R's.

Hondas have smaller or was it larger? (Which ever way it was) offsets. My friends Regamasters didn't clear the front suspention in my e30. I think he said the offests were at 45. I think the bigger the number, the closer the wheel is towards the center of the car.

you'd need to run about a 20mm spacer assuming that's a 7in wide wheel.

Hondas almost always have a larger center bore than E30's, which means you need to use hubcentric rings, not boring the center out...

honda's centerbore and mini's as well are 56mm, versus our 57mm, so you would bore out the center if you wanted them to fit.

Alpinas are ET28 in both the 7" and 8" wheel.

they also need to be hubcentric, and have the same hub bore (57.1mm)

So, what needs to have the same hub bore? The wheels and the spacers? So, with the correct hubcentric spacer, you could put a honda wheel onto an e30?

If the wheel was designed to fit the Honda without rings, then it won't fit. They have a 1mm smaller centrebore. If it's a larger universal wheel, then yeah a proper spacer that may or may not need rings would work.

Tireworks in Sauga. Quoted me $179/ea IIRC, but it went up to around 200-220 recently.

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.).

Where can I find Ronal LS's in Canada?

moving this to FAQ, where it could help some fools out.

and yes, BMWs are great, that's why we don't put cheap shitty generic wheels on our cars.. ;)
