    Will These Fit on my 325iS?

    Warning - Noob Question:

    I've owned an '87 325iS for about a month now and am interested in doing a wheel swap. The car has a full E30 M3 suspension, custom valved Konis and Ireland Engineering springs. Current wheels are 15x8 5 bolt Koseis.

    I've seen photos of E30 325s with DS1's, so they apparently will fit, however, I'd like to make sure I'll be able to stuff these in my wheel wells before I consider bidding on them.

    I'm assuming as long as I don't exceed the width of my current tires (which pretty fill the wheel well) I should be okay - right? Any suggestion from those who run 17" on their 325s on tire size?

    Anyone else have experience with non-staggered DS1s? They seem to be a fairly inexpensive way to switch over to 17s while still maintaining a BMW look-and-feel.

    Here are the wheels in question:


    Any thoughts, suggestions or feedback is much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    These with a set of 225/40/17 tires? Will they fit in my well wells? Will they clear my brakes? Anyone, Bueller? Bueller?

      Im no expert but it sounds like it should fit. Just find the offset of your current wheels and compare to the new ones, if they are decently close they should fit but you might need spacers...

          they will fit I ran 255/40's out back with a small spacer and some massaging and rolling. 225/45 in front with a small spacer and no spring clips
