Would these fit?

[EWAustin]

13x8 Rota RB wheels.

Offset: +4
Backspace: 4.5"
Weight: 14 lbs
Lug Pattern: 4x100
Center Bore: ? (larger center bore, should fit almost anything)


Not for daily use of course, but I was thinking for a set of Autocross tires.


Oh yeah, IE3 springs on an '87 325is

i doubt they would clear the calipers...

Trent could rock them on his 318

how close are the stock 14" wheels to the calipers?

[808BMW]

Pretty close, a test fit is definately needed.

I've heard of 13's being done, but it depends on the inside shape of the rim.

[DanGillan]

i've personally made 13"s fit on an e30. but it took some spacing and long studs. clearly you'd need to test fit.

If it's an internet transaction, i'd stay away and wait for something else. They're more likely not to fit than fit.

I tried numerous of 13" steelies... in front ~40mm spacers would be required with any STEEL 13" wheel. Rears are easy.

But why 13"? What size of tyre? 195/70/13 would have way too high sidewall(=ugly) and still be too small radius and anything lower would just be too small anyway.

EDIT: 195/70/13 would be too narrow too on those rims?

I'm sure these would be for racing only. There are plenty of wide 13" slicks and DOT R-comps available.

If I get them I'd go for 215/50-13 Kumho V710s, The seller is an aquaintance of mine, so I'd be able to test fit first.

Hmm, I've got some Scirocco 16v seats he wants, maybe he'd trade me...

[808BMW]

If you can test fit em, then by all means go for it

[e30frosh]

I absolutely love the look of those wheels, and sound that konig made a similar set in 16's I think. Saw em on the bay. Want 'em...but all my cash is tied up in the stroker...I vote test fit and then post pics!

The caliper isn't the problem, the tie rod is. The tie rod sticks out further than the caliper does.

Both yes, but with most of the 13"steelies, as I said the caliper.
