    e38 style 5's on e30

    I found a set of style 5's from an e38, 16x8 et23. What am I going to have to do to get these to fit my '90 325is? Is the offset too big? What size spacer would I need? What tire size would be closest to oem specs? I've read that 215/45-16, 225/45-16 or 205/50-16 (I feel like those would be really stretched though) are the closest. I haven't done a 5-lug swap and I don't know if that's the way I want to. I'm debating between the swap and just running adapters. This is just for street use, no track.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Im running e38 style 5s, you need a 10mm spacer in the front an 8mm fits but you haft to remove a lot of material from the caliper. 205/50-16s fit well if you have a tire that runs reasonably wide (My BfG Sport comp-2s run more like 215) it also depends on how low you are if you want to run anything more than a 205/50-16 or a 215-45-16 you will need a roll in the back. if you sendup going the fill a drill route make sure you get studs and a spacer with a lip to keep the front wheels hub centric
