    Where do you get your rims?

    Hello, I have an 89' vert and I have stock bottlecaps. I just installed vogtland springs which dropped my car 1.8in all around. I am looking to either get basketweaves or size 15x7.5 wheels. I have been looking on here and on ebay. The problem is, How do I know it'll fit? Should I go to a tire store and buy?

    If they were OE on an E30 they will fit. If not, ask here:

      What do u mean if they will fit? All depends on size if wheels and tires.. if you are asking about the bolt pattern then it depends what wheels are you getting. Stock, e30 4x100 so if you get wheels with 4x100 u should be fine. Otherwise you will need adapters...

        I mean like fitment without rolling fenders... Yes the bolt pattern is 4x100. Like how will I know if I will need spacers or to roll my fenders? I am tucking some tire. For example if I wanted to order these http://www.ebay.com/itm/350835024691...84.m1423.l2649 What would I need?

          Or wheels.........cars have wheels.

          And there is a "wheel fitment" thread.....in the wheel section.

            You will more than likely need to roll the lip on the inside of the fender flat to run an 8" wide wheel with an et20 offset.

            We have a post for these questions as already mentioned. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=83125

                Okay then, if you get 8 inch wheel you will need 5-10mm spacers because otherwise it will touch the strut bar.. (i think u just need spacers in the front.) Since the offset is 20, with, lets say 10mm spacers, you will have offset 10 in the end. (which is very small) If you car is low you will rub which means you will need to roll the fenders, and possibly even pull them a bit. Personally im going with xxr 527s and will probably have negative offset so i will need to either keep the car high or pull the fenders quite a bit.

                  But ya, fitment without rolling fenders is measured in offset (et) so unless you wonna rub or roll fenders get either smaller wheel (like 7 inch) with 20 offset, or find an 8 inch wheel with like 30 offset which will give you space to run spacers.
