    13in wheels on an E30?

    I found some cheap wheels with snow tires. They are just steel wheels with bolt pattern 4X100 and they are 13in off of a 95 honda civic dx. Does anyone know if these will work on my 325i. Thanks

    they don't fit, they won't go over the brakes.

      Nando's right, you need at least 14's.

            you guys are 100% wrong, they WILL FIT!!

            last track day, my co worker found a set of 4x100 steel wheels, not hubcentric, 13" from a volkswagen or something, we spaced them out 28mm (he has long ass studs) and they fit awesome, they stuck out past the fenders like an autox miata, but it was awesome, only rubbed if someone was in the back seat, but long story short, THEY WILL FIT IF YOU TRY HARD ENOUGH!!!

              So, if you take the time, spend the cash for huge ass spacers and dangerously long lugs, you can make 13 inch wheels fit.

              You familiar with the concept of diminishing returns?

                they asked if they will fit, and they will. end of story. we had the spacers around the shop, and he had TCKline studs, not lugs. its far from diminishing, the wheels weighed about 22 pounds with the tire.
