    Wheel offset difference front to rear

    What is the difference in offset between the front and rear on a late model e30? My eyeballing looks to me like its close to 15mm or 20mm. Anyone know what kind of spacer I should add to the rear to make it even with the fronts?

    there technically is no offset difference, but I think you mean the rear tires looks more tucked inside the fenders than the front. anyways, it depends on the wheels/tires you are running and if you will have room. 20mm in the back with stock wheels/tires worked fine for me, but with 225 tires, I doubt if an 8mm would have fit.

      Visually, the rears sit 15mm in more from the fenders than the fronts do.
