16x9 all around on e30.

[D J]

Quick question. Wondering if anyone in here is running a 16x9 +15 wheels up front of there e30? I just purchased a set and about to start installing. Wondering if there is anything I should worry about. Or purchase before I start. Thanks

Might need a 3-5mm spacer up front

Yepp. Motorsport Hardware has an 8mm one just to be on the safe side.

alright I have spacers. I had to go to a shop today to have my fenders rolled. not only did they do a half ass job but they say my wheels are to big and they wont fit them on my car. I have 5 and 10mm spacers extended studs and megan coils. but they should just go on no problem correct? I am waiting for a friend to get off work. cant work on my car at my house.

My 16x9 wheels are ET20 and I run ~10mm spacers up front and no spacers in the rear.

225/45 rear tires
205/40 front tires

alright ill have pics up later. I don't understand why it was a problem besides them being lazy. this guy was talking about having to cut my fenders and such. I just left.

What size are you tires..? That's usually what determines it.

215-40. There yokohama s-drives.

Then considering you had the right spacers, coils, and camber plates that came with those coils, those guys were being lazy.
Play with the settings in your driveway, then go get an alignment after at a specialty shop.

Will do. I am waiting on a friend to go home so I can jack the car up. The guy I got the wheel set up from straight up took it off the same car. They did not mess with any of my suspension setting. Just eyeballed it and said nah it wont work.
