Which 16" wheels fit E30 with E36M3 5-lug swap?

[psyber_0ptix]

By chance has anybody tried to fit 16" Kosei K1 over E36 M3 front brakes?

i've been searching for these high and low; im interested in knowing as well....but Kosei's are one of the most space forgiving wheels iirc. Their spoke profile makes it a great for 4pot caliper fitment (also offset dependant), it just boils down to the barrel size.

318ti rear. The rear did require some rolling. I don't have the alignment printout available, I haven't been stateside since early January.

The Style4's are running oddball, 245/35r16. I'm thinking of slapping 225/45r16 on the Style 5's.

IIRC the winters are 205/50r16 set on the 16x7 and they didnt have problems.

Sorry this is vague, and I cannot provide much more info. From reading the first post, I thought the objective was finding wheels that fit the criteria of E36M3 front brakes.

I won't be able to give anymore specifics until September 2

E39 Style 29 16x7 ET +20

E38 Style 4 16x8 ET +23

E38 Style 5 16x8 ET +23

I have all of these, and they fit.

Assuming with euro-stretch on tires and some fender rolling? Under what 5-lug swap specs in rear? Lots of camber too?... IF we have same setups (z3 1.9L 4cylinder rear complete arms and brakes), then I don't see how I can fit the equivalent of 20mm or so in spacers to match those offsets with -1deg and -2deg front and rear camber (respectively).

Also, close to stock rolling diameter as well? I don't mean to come off strong, just a lil excited at the prospects... please take my questions as "curious" in nature and not inflammatory. Thanks.

I would love to roll on some "baller" "OG" 5 and 7 series 16s. Woot.

Aftermarket...i don't know, i'm too poor to afford wheels outside of 300 shipped

It seems to me (and I could be wrong) but that a whole lot more 16" wheels fit the e36 m3 stuff than not - contrary to internet wisdom.

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yeah go on, tell me more... :) I'm listening!!

Indeed. I'd love some 16" K1's for my S50 car in an E36 offset. There was a set recently on BFC for cheap that I really should have bought.

my RZ don't fit?

Bumping this back. I have a nice clean set of RZ's 16x8 et23 and apparently it won't work with the E36M3/318ti rear without sticking out? Am I missing something? I was hoping I could run some meat on these to get some traction.

16x7.5 ET20. Fit perfectly over e36m3 setup without any spacers, nor hubcentric rings.

Any way to get a side view of this? And if you mounted them, what size tire did you run?

Anyone have a picture or two of something close to 16x9 in et20 on e36 318ti on the rear?

Does anyone know if 16x7 style 42's clear the e36 m3 front brakes?

A buddy tried this, I believe it was really close diameter wise but fit. He did have issues with the anti-rattle clips on the calipers hitting his spokes, so a 3-5mm spacer would probably be needed. He had them mounted on the car with no anti rattle clips, but I wouldn't consider that "fitting".

Found a set of those wheels locally... iono, they look neat on e38, but I'm debating whether to try them on e30 with high arches.
