    If I get them I'll probably get 4-5 lug 18mm adapters. I tried looking for pix of these wheels mounted on an E30 but I'm not finding any. Is there a reason these wheels wouldn't work on an E30 with spacers?

    Car is a stock height 92 cabrio that has an M30 swap.

    Thanks!
    Well, I ended up getting the wheels for $150. They were not staggered but square 17x7.5 et41.

    Next purchase is 42Design 18mm spacers giving me an et23 offset. I think I've seen that the max tire size I can fit on a non-tweaked cabrio fender is 225/45/17. Can anyone confirm? Two of the wheels already have decent BFG tires in this size.

    Thanks!

    Style 32's 8"x17" et20,
    Can I get away with 215/35 tires, don't like to stretch too much?? If someone has pics would greatly appreciate...

    Also,
    Style 23's M-Contours 8.5"x17" et41 all around, which spacers, tires and studs length recommended?

    Thanks in advance!

    I’m running them right now drilled and filled no spacers and 225/45r17. Those two sizes you put are way small. If you want to run a 205 you should go 50 series.

    With 205 you can use adapters, although they will be pretty aggressive at ET5

    Beyern mesh

    I really like the Beyern mesh style wheels and I have them on my ‘89. They were on the car when I got it.

    My son wants them on his ‘87. They are 15x7 and both the cars are stock suspension.

    Are all the Beyern mesh wheels the same offset/backspace?

    Can we go up to a 16”? Or, are there 15x7.5 or 8?

    I’m not finding any info really, from what I can tell if you want a Beyern mesh you don’t get to pick and choose between different widths?

    Is 16x8 et7 all around too aggressive? I’ll be running 215/45/16 tires with a slight roll all around.
    Original wheel is 16x8 et32 but will be running a 25mm adapter
    Suspension: coilovers
