    Will these fit the rear of an e30? No coil overs to adjust camber. I also read that you can't roll the e30 rear fenders.

      LOLOL, can't roll the fenders of an E30? I'll put money on it that 75% of R3V members have rolled their fenders by virtue of a baseball bat.

            I read in a couple of treads that rears have seam sealers and aren't welded so it couldn't be done, however I'm sure I'm wrong. I know nothing of rolling fenders. Anyone with opinoins on the wheels fitting? or testimonies?

              You can roll the rears just fine. Make sure theres no shit stuck in the lip or sever rust before you start

                Also im running 17x9et10 in the rear. Itll have more to do with tire size and ride hieght than anything, the wheels themselves wont hit.

                  That would be correct, but rolling isn't the issue, it's the pulling.

                    I have 17x9 et 25 wheels in the rear of a late model e30 with a slight fender roll and they fit fine.

                      the height of your car and tire size will be the deciding factors. A roll is unavoidable either way.

                        You can roll even with the seam sealer. Its just not optimal. Scrape or wire wheel it out and then roll pancake flat. That wil be $5 kind sir.

                          What did you run up front? What tire size did you run? I know this is old hopefully looking to get info since I plan on a set of 17x9 et 25 wheels all around.
