    Z3 wheels onto an e30 m3

    Does anybody know what is the Z3 centerbore?
    Does the m3 have the same centerbore as the non-m e30 (57.1mm) or is it different?

    The wheels are 16x7 et40, so I will probably need a 15-20mm spacer to fit it onto my m3. Can anybody tell me for sure exactly what size/centerbore I will need?

    Both cars have a 72.56mm CB.

    The only 5x120 BMW not to have that CB is the E39/X5, which are 74.1mm.

      Cool, thanks.
      Do you know what the ideal offset for an e30 m3 with 16x7 rims? I will probably just be running 225s.

            I'd run deeper offsets with M fenders. Like ET15-ET20 at least, for good looks.

            Factory 16x7.5" wheels were ET20, for reference.
