    Mexi Poke...or no?



    Those are the wheels im looking at.
    Front - 15x8 et 10
    Rears - 15x9 et 0

    Im pretty sure the fronts will be ok? But will the rears poke too much? I plan on running a 205/40/15 or maybe something smaller to stretch them.

      Mexi-poke shall insue. Make sure you have camber plates, a big hammer and a low car. Or let me be unique and get some other wheels :P

        ^^^It won't be long till your wheels will purchased by many e30 owners. Since you posted photos of car all over this forum. But hey think of it about it this way, you created a trend for many e30 owners. Instead of the usual Borbet type A everyone will be getting Rota Shakotans all cause of you.

        OP those sizes will fit nicely with a guard roll and 205/50/15 all round I don't think having heaps of negative camber is going to be needed at the front like funfgan did. Since he was running a 15X9 size front. But you need the car sitting nice and low to pull off a low offset wheel like that

            Just the photo whore who commented earlier (FunfGan) is probably the only e30est I know of running them. I might get these with the gold inner spokes so that I'm not a complete copycat.

              Also, they're going to require a lot of cutting and grinding the caliper...

                  They are Rotas and replicas so they already aren't rare. I've seen some on old cressidas and they look good in person. If people can get them to fit good then more should rock. So far nobody has the 9" tucking nicely all around. You will probably have better luck with the 8" up front.

                    They're rotas. They're already everywhere, i wouldnt worry about "copying" too much

                      But not on e30's. Thats not the point, It'll take caliper grinding, hefty stretch, rolled/ pulled fenders and you'll need to tuck tire. Which i've seemed to fail at...
                      Plus, the real Hayashi's have crappy offsets/ widths
