what size rims to get

[E30_fiend]

17x8.5 will fit with rolling and a little stretch depending on two things.

1. How low you are
2. The offset of the wheels.

Don't even attempt the 17x10s. But if the 17x8.5 has an offset around 20, you should be ok clearance wise. But if you are not low enough or the offset isn't around 20, it will look stupid AND cause problems.

Buddy of mine has 17x8 in the front and he cleared just fine with a good roll. He has 17x9s in the rear and had even less issues with them than the front.

I LOVE 17s on e30s. I think they are the perfect size but it also depends om the wheel choice too.

usually $100+ a tire depending on size and all. Since it will be a pretty low profile 17" tire for an E30 in an uncommon size they are priced so.

anyways I love 15x8+ sized wheels on an E30. the tires are cheap, and I think they fit the styling typically of an E30 nicely.

cheers, i kinda figured they would be more than $100 just wondering if they were over $200 or more

^Stretch is a Euro creation, not a JDM one.

I was referring to a chunkier stretch, such as I have. Such as seen on old Skylines and Celica's.

13x8.5 out front. 13x10 in the rear. They should be SSR Mk. II's. Get some old school jdm stretch and you'll be set.

Why do you want just the rim? How do you mount tires to just the rim? I hope you're getting them cheap, as I would rather get a whole wheel for my money...

Just sayin'.

28inch spinners out front with 30s out back

I concur.

am i better off with the apex arc-8?

For some reason I do like these, see Danny and Suspence's cars for example. They look good.

13x5 -500

You will need some hydraulics as well. Otherwise they won't fit.
