Oh c'mon farb we've all been noobs before. :giggle:

But he's right, all mesh wheels are not BBSs.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

Dude I think you have a crack on your rear wheel

[Kershaw]

as carbin faiber pointed out, those arent BBS wheels. they're multilug so that means they are some cheap chinese special. that doesnt change the fact that they look great though!

all you need are some hubcentric rings.

So New HubCentric Rings and I should be good to go? I really don't want to get rid of these wheels lol

[Mangrum84]

Yeah they aren't BBS's I just knew they would attract the Help of others lol I don't know what they are honestly.

4x100mm, center hub is 57mm, wheel bore 57.1mm
6" rim width: 33mm offset = 4.7" backspace
6" rim width: 35mm offset = 4.6" backspace **
6½" rim width: 26mm offset = 4.7" backspace
6½" rim width: 30mm offset = 5.0" backspace **
7" rim width: 20mm offset = 4.7" backspace
7" rim width: 25mm offset = 4.9" backspace **
7½" rim width: 20mm offset = 4.9" backspace
** Factory sizes for an E30
Wheel diameter is irrelevant concerning offset. This is the Specs for the E30.

The Gold wheels are 16x7. So would this Calculate meaning I need a 32mm Spacer??

You need hubcentric rings not spacers. Hubcentric rings are like a filler or bushing to make the center big hole in a wheel fit the hub.

OK - hub rings cannot fill a negative space. You said the wheels have a 56.1 bore and as you also noted the E30 has a 57.1 hub. Think about it - a 57.1 mm dowel into a 56.1 mm hole - don't work. If you have a large offset, which you've never stated what your wheels have, you might be able to find (or get some made) spacers that compensates for this.

Maybe I'm wrong but if they were 56.1 they wouldn't be on his car in first place cuz they wouldn't fit right? I mean im just guessing here. Not a rocket scientist or anything..


If you center bore on the wheel is larger than your hub you need hubcentric rings. I highly doubt that is the issue. I've ran e39 wheels on an e34 without the rings and only had vibration. No "clunking"
If your getting clunking then something is worn out. Strut bearing or control arm bushing would be my guess. Would guess that jacking up the car and changing the wheels was the "straw that broke the camels back"

Can't tell from the pic. He has shown no pics of the back of the wheels. A lot of wheels have the through holes larger than the hub locating surface in the rear. They need to be removed and measured.
