5 Lug swap E30. Front Rims Question.

[DechYe]

I need two rims for the front of my car. I Believe I should be looking for something 5x120 15-20 offset and around 16in. Are those measurements correct?

My car:


Why do I need new front rims; speed ice curb. Wrecked one, going to just mismatch front n rear.

If anyone knows of any nice looking rims that fit a 5 lug e30 well under the front fenders please let me know.

you fucker stole my wheels and my car color... looking good :)


your wheels right now are 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8.5 in the rear. Front offset 41 and rear is 50.

Yea. And the front tires rub if I turn them almost all the way and the driver side one is probably bent. So I'm looking for new wheels for my front that will fit with no issues. Oh and I have m3 brakes and suspension so these wheels would need to clear them.

Im just looking for a list of wheels that fit 5 lug e30s well. I know someone on here can name a few off the top of their head. Preferably not too expensive.

it's not in the wheel, it has a lot to do with the tire. e36s come with tierod spacers to fit bigger tires.

My car is assembled of parts from various e30s and new 3 series'. I bought it from a BMW technician and his friend works in a junkyard and told him when ever the got a part he could use and the rest he got through the dealership. Its kinda a junker. But I love it and he stopped talking to me after I bought the car and I never got the list of all the parts he put on the car. All I know is I need two rims to put on my front. Any common rims that fit a 5 lug e30 up front real nice?

if you have the e36 stuff up front you will need e36 or e46 wheels they have the proper offsets to fit under the fenders, you will still have a bit of rubbing at full steering wheel lock.

From what i have tried on my car if you want the wheels to stay flush with the fenders the lowest offset you could do in the front is probably 38-40 and probably the same for the rear, but thats with 18s. With 17s you could probably go lower.

Thank you.

Does that mean these would work?
