Another spacer question...

[Ryan...]

Ok, I found a killer deal on some 17x7.5, 4x100, et45 Kosei K1s, 5 rims with tires for $300. Tires are size 215/45/17

I want to know what it would take to fit them on my e30 with a 2.5" drop in front, and 1.5" drop in the rear.. I've been trying to research it, but I'm having difficulty finding the exact answer and I need to know by tomorrow morning so I can decide whether or not to buy them.. I've seen on here that for a 7" wide rim 20-25et is preferred, but what about a 7.5" on a lowered car?

Thanks in advance!

id say 20mm spacers and you will still be able to have decent meaty tires. If you want flush wheels and don't care about stretched tires, go 30mm

20mm spacer and it'll work fine. 25 if you're feeling fancy.

Holy crap that was fast! Thanks guys :)


The tires on it are size 215/45/17, will that give me issues? And I'm also gonna need hub rings, but the guy selling them doesn't know the hub size..

[Danny]

Might rub from being too tall. I ran 215/40/17.

[Ryan...]

ok, I can always change the tires out..

[bmw325csi]

try and get hub centric spacers to the sizes you need, many custom spacers out there.

i have these, which I think is what you need but Not sure on the outer bore the Kosei's have. Inner bore is 57.1 outer is 73 I think. Its 4x100 dual drill (both patterns are 4 x 100)



I used it to run the same size wheels you mentioned but I did use 215-40 tires

Let me know if you need them.

[Ryan...]

If the bores match the Koseis I'll almost assuredly take them, how much you want for them?

[bmw325csi]

10 bucks a pop, should be 45 shipped.

[Ryan...]

Holy jeebus, that's a great deal :) I'll know tomorrow hopefully by 3pm!
