Im about to buy diamond racing steelies for my e30. They are 0 offset. Will I need spacers? Because I heard that the caliper will rub in the front. If you have an experience awith this let me know what up. Thanks.

caliper rubbing is to do with backspace. Find out what backspace they will have and then pull your wheel off and measure from the mounting face of the hub to the brake caliper. This is your available backspace.
if those ones you want won't fit, at least then you will know what will.
Alternatively there is a backspace to offset calculator on the net i found throug google, but you will still need to know your backspace available. -
ive heard people running the sportmax wheels at 15x8+0 with no issues.
your backspace for an 8"wide+0offset wheel is 114.3mm not sure why that was brought up though.
offset and backspace are essentially the exact same measurement plus 1/2" because wheel width and offset are measured to the bead seat of the wheel and backspace is measured to the very outside of the lip (1/2" difference)
The faces of DRW's are very flat stamped steel versus the machined faces and hubs of and alloy wheel.Comment
