So as long as the surface that meets with the Hub is hub-centric then the wheels that attach to the spacers don't matter?

Wheel noob here. I've always used factory wheels on my Bmws. But I now find the need to Branch out. I'm looking at a set of 15x7 4x100 +30 wheels with a 73.1 center bore. These should be pretty similar to us stock wheel set up, shouldn't it? I realize I will have to use some hub-centric rings to make them balance correctly. My question being if I end up needing spacers how do I go about doing that? Seeing as I can't find any 57.1 to 73.1 spacers without having them custom built and spending a lot of money (I'm not looking to spend a ton on this car and will probably sell to acquire a late model at some point). Also I will be on Raceland coilovers and I was curious how wide of tires I can run without any rubbing. Thanks

You dont need custom spacers, just buy spacers that are 57.1 hubcentric, there are several companies that make them.

All you need to do is get rings that bring the bore of the wheels from 73.1 to 57.1

Does anybody still help in this thread?

Style 9's

Found these Style 9's locally for $100 and think they'd look amazing on the e30. I believe they're 16x7.5 et 15. Planning on buying 42 Draft Design adapters. Wondering what thickness adapters to buy and what tire size I should run.

Car specs:
1987 325e lowered on H&R Sports

Also, does anyone know the hub size for the Style 9's? I believe 72.5 mm.. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance for the help.

CCW Classics

Heavily considering a set of CCW Classics

Wondering if I will be able to run 16x10 square on BC Coils and how much tire I will be able to clear and what offset is ideal.

Thank you for your help!

17x 9 wheels with 245/45 tires, will that fit under my 87 e30?

[Staszek]

17x7.5 with 215/40R17, can I squeeze 235/40R17?

Offset 40 but using 20mm Spacers so final is Offset et20

These are BBS LMs 198s

1989 BMW 325i Wheel Fitment

I have a 1989 BMW 325i with CATuned coil overs. The rims I have are 16x8 with +25 offset. I know I have to at least run a 3mm spacer or they just skim the brake caliper. I have 3, 5, and 10mm spacers to use. My question is what size of tire would work with this setup? I have all new plastic in the front of the wheel well for the brake ducting to make it all nice and clean in the front so I would not prefer to trim it. I have test fitted the rims with all the different spacers and I am quite concerned that I have made a bad rim choice but yet I see lots of others out there who have made this work. I have also heard opinions that the 16x8 with a +15 offset is the perfect rim size for the E30, hence the reason I have 10mm spacers as well. I am not going for stretched tires on this build, I want to have a more performance tire on there with a tread wear of about 200, 100 would be too soft for daily driving but also don't want rubber bands. I don't mind rolling the fenders so long as it is just the inside lip as I want to keep the body lines stock, but finding someone in Edmonton to roll them with a fender roller might be tough. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.


Thank you.

This weekend I have fitted 215/45/17 tires on 17x8.5 et25 with a 5mm spacer on the front with
H&R sport springs.
The rear is 215/45/17 tires on 17x8.5 et25 with a 3mm spacer and H&R sport springs.

Not rolled fender.

Hope this info help some of you.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on some Gotti 1001's but they're overseas and overpriced. I'd like to be reassured these will fit before I pull the trigger.

Specs:
Gotti 1001
16x8.5
5x120
et 21

Thoughts:
4x100->5x120 adapters 18f, 20r

Car:
88 e30
Rolled, not pulled
Rx7 calipers in the front

Thank you!

Looking at getting TRM C1s in 15x8 with 20mm offset

Trying to fit 245/40/15s all the way around, is this possible?

I have a 1988 325i with a Ford 347 stroker that I'm trying to keep from spinning everywhere.

[James_1991]

Two questions. Both dealing with a '91 vert with bav auto springs and bilsteins.

Will RWD 14inch weaves with 20mm spacers all around be overkill?

Also what would be an appropriate tire for 16x8.5 with +15 without rolling fenders?
