    hmm... Chevy Suburban (i think) wheels on e30?

    My buddy has a set of these wheels that I believe are from a suburban. They are I believe 15's and atleast 8.5inches wide. They have a decent lip, and a zero offset if not very close to it. The hub is pretty much right in the middle of the wheel. However it is a 6 lug wheel, and I assume with so many holes it might be difficult to redrill to 4x100. Not sure of hub size eithor.

    Heres a pic of them right next to my car.


    I am on the fence about them, because I want to try something different but not sure if the wheel is worth the effort.

    1) is there any 6 lug to 4x100 adapters or is that mostly a custom setup?
    2) if these were supposibly 15''x9'', what tires would fit good on an e30 setup on billy sports and eibach springs? With slight stretch?

    Thanks

        They kind of look cool. But I like weird wheels. Most of the older chev wheels I've seen are pretty close to zero offset. Would you even be able to keep the wheels under your fenders redrilled, let alone with adapters?

                      As far as I know, they are. I just forgot about the older FSJs. I just hear Jeep Cherokee and think of the mini unibody things. :D
