    Borbet C 16" setup

    I just bought a set of Borbet C (7 1/2J 16H2 et30 225/45/16). I have two questions. I am concerned about the narrow space in between rim and shocks. It seems to be less space then the 14 inch basket weaves with the same offset. Lastly, will the rim and tire size be ok when I put on my bilstien shocks and H&R springs?

    If there was a hall of fame of E30 BMW wheels the Type C would get in on the first ballot.

        I believe with a 7.5in wheel you need an et20 offset.

        hopefully someone can come in here and confirm or deny that

          You will need very small front spacers. 3mm will do it.

              I've got a set on a Bilstein/H&R Race equipped car right now. I think they are et25 though.. Mine are direct fit either way, and work great with the 205/50/16's I'm currently running.

                Try a local tire shop. Any universal 4x100 3mm spacer will do, and you can retain your stock bolts.
