Kosei K-1's

[e30virgin]

Does anyone have K-1s on there E30. Am probably going to put 15s on my is and was wondering the max. wideness acceptable (the ones i am looking at are 7". Oh yeah, and what is the exact offset and centerbore, because many people say different. Thanks

You're looking at tirerack, right?

I think they are a perfect fit. 7.5 would probably fit too, but MOST 15" rims are just 7" in width, some are 7.5

Rwdrift has some K1's though.

Tirerack should also have the offset on there site...link comin

Sounds good.

Looks like K1 offset's are 27mm

Not sure if this'll work or not:

They're et41, so you need 15mm spacers.

27mm offset with a 7" rim should work fine. Hub bore on E30's is 57.1 mm.

TireRack has blank Kosie wheels they can make 15x8 units to fit the e30, the cost is around 180 per wheel for the custom units.
