I dont know much about the actual wheels but you would most likely need spacers due to the high offset and you would need hub centric rings.

ok so this completly off topic but my dad just told me that i cant put a 15inch wheel on a car that 14's cause it wont fit with out some adaptor, now i in some cases ya you need wheel spacers and maybe something else but in general i im feeling kinda sceptical about that. so am in just an idoit or is wrong?

o and thanks for that info on the wheel

The only reason you would need an adaptor is if the lug pattern is different

I was going to post and answer your first question.
But after reading your second post I'm not going to bother.

so to answer your dumb questions:
Type of wheels: Riken Mesh (personally didn't know that the came in 4x100, i thought 4x114.3 is all they came in)
Offset: 0 (you shouldn't need to run spacers)
Center bore: 60mm (stock e30 center bore is 57.1) you would need to buy a set of these: http://www.jegs.com/i/Detroit-Wheels...oductId=902543


I hope this helped, and you learned something. here is a diagram to help you understand
-sincerely a :borg:

i feel your pain.. im gonna try helping this dumb ass 14 year old anyways, as my good deed of the day:roll: lol

The guy says the backspacing is 5.125", which would put the offset at about 28, not 0.

sorry about that, if that's the case the wheels would give a nice stance 2. i based the offset off a different but the same style Riken wheels i seen before

already a thread for these questions...look at top of section.

Yep, that's why I said he might need spacers but I'm not completely sure

[mason6556]

honestly and planly seen i dont know jack crap about rims. i do understand the center bore andn why i need those rings. but what i dont get is how you get the offset.

[mason6556]

ok so i now understand that the offset is how far the back side of bolt parttern is from the center line either way. but how do i measure that,

[CW325]

here is how to calculate offset by measuring the backspacing

[mason6556]

thanks for all the info

These should fit on your car pretty nicely, although I would still run a 10mm spacer or so to get a more better look.
