Style 5's on an e30 ?

[e30Rob]

So i picked up a set of style 5's on the low and i plan on mounting them on my e30. They are 17x8 square and et20....My question is will it be safe to say i can fit 17x8 et0 (due to my adapters) on all 4 corners with no issue? Would i be able to run a 25mm adapter out back to poke them out alittle more. And jsut so you know i'm not affraid of rollin on soem fenders and such. any help would be greatfull.

p.s. does anyone have any pics of style 5's on an e30?

I have style 5's on my car but I did e30 m3 swap. I was going to do adapters but after a few phone calls I dropped the idea because I couldnt get a set of adapters under 40mm. Plus I feel alot safer by not using adapters.

i have a buddy in cali that can make adapters any thickness and 1pc to boot, i'm gonna run 20mm making them et0 but i wanna know if i can run a -5et in the back for that staggered look.

Are you running any spacers on yours? if so what size?

you bought those ones for 375 huh? wanna know what i paid for mine...lol

Yeah I got them for a good deal but I got 5 of them so I got a space :) I am running 3mm spacers on the rear and the fenders are rolled flat and I mean flat. I might put some 5mm spacers on and see how they look. Goodluck with the adapters.

[e30s52]

Nice, nice. Yeah some of the stuff on cl is so low. I was running to the bank to get cash to pick these up lol

theoretically they will fit, but as you mentioned you will need to do some fender work to minimize the rub.

ya i already know imma have to roll the shit outta the fenders mind this guy dosent mind a little fender modding to get wheels to fit, i've done it on all my cars.....i ordered 15mm and 20mm adapters also order 205/40/17

[e30s52]
