I called CCW earlier today about ordering a custom set of classic 4's for my e30. They told me that they have never done a set for an e30, and that he would need the offset to produce my set. So I was wondering if some one could fill me in on the offset I would need to run a 16x7.5 in the front and 16x9 in the rear for direct bolt on with no spacers.
Thanks,
Josh

Hey guys...I'm new to e30's but not to aggressive fitments. I'm looking to see if its feasible to stuff 16x9/17x9 using 5 lug adapters (20mm). My car is an 89 325is, and will have suspension of some sort before I get wheels, although I'm not sure yet. I have no problem rolling my fenders/quarters to fit anything. What offset should I be looking for to be super flush front and back knowing I'll already be on a 20mm spacer? Is this too much wheel on these cars? Thanks!

Suggestions for tire size? I'm using ASA 5-spoke wheels, 15x7, ET25. I'd like to fill the wheel wells as much as possible, without funky handling, rubbing, or tire wear issues. Objective is DD and will eventually get into autocross.
The car is dropped slightly, using M3 springs. I want a nice clean, classic look.
205/55/15 is the standard size. Wondering if 215's or 225's would work.
Tire Rack has Dunlop Direzza's on sale, $250 for set of 4. Any other budget-minded suggestions, without going into the no-name brands?

this is not e30 related but it is bmw related. they do not have one of these wheel tire fitment threads on the 2002 faq so i will ask here.
i want to run 15x8 wheels on my 2002. what off set should i go with? the wheels I want come in -12 , 0, or +12. depending on what offset I should use what size spacers will i need? i know i will need flares to run these. i was also wondering what size tires would be best?
thanks and cheers!sigpic

i just found this...
figured it all out. 2002 should run a back space of 4.5 inches. an 8" wide wheel with an offset of et 0 has a 4.5" back space. so i should run et 0 wheels if the are 8" wide right?sigpic

I am looking to run ix weaves on a 87 vert. I am having a hard time deciding on what size spacers I should run. I was thinking 15mm, but I saw in an earlier post in this thread that 15mm front and 20mm rear would look to best. Is this true, does it even out the tires?
If I put 20mm in the back would the fenders need to be rolled?
I am also putting m3 springs on so it will be a little lower.
Thanks for your help.

I have 90 325i w/ e30 m3 5 lug setup.
Will a 17x8.5 et15 have any chance of fitting? I think i've seen them on an e30 m3, but how much more width does the fender flare on the m3 give over the 325? Any sort of fender massaging will be needed? They're not rolled yet but I'm planning to that this spring.
I would like to run correct size tires, so thats a 245/35/17? Be better off w/ an et38 and spacers?
Currently it has some 17x8 et40 ASA AR1s w/ a 20mm spacer on it that I was hoping to eliminate.
Thanks
