Hi guys, looking at some 17x7.5 +15 offset (can choose a different offset if need be) running 205/40/17's, just stock suspension at the moment and guards aren't rolled. I want to avoid guard rolling and spacers if possible. Will I have any rubbing/clearance issues?

Thanks for your help!

No issues.

Fitment question: 16x7 et3 and 16x8 et-10 too aggressive? Tire recommendation if I can fit? On H&R sports + HD Bils. Thanks!

Yes, too aggressive.

Looking to get a set of IE3 springs with bilstein Sport shocks, combined with a set of trm c1 wheels 15x8 offset 20, and tires 225/50/15. From what I have seen other people have done this, but will I need rolling or pulling of the fenders to clear without rubbing?

Yes, rear fender roll necessary. Still will be very tight.

im also wheel fitment slow.

i have a set of BBS RZ469 16x8 et23
i need 4x100->5x120 adapters.
will 18mm adapter give me an offset of 5?

Also anyone here running these of their e30 let me know what thickness you went with and why. thanks

Offset too low, will rub.

Hey there Mystikal,1986 BMW 325ES. I have a set of BBS LM's (real deal) 17 X 7.5 with a et 40mm off set... running a 205/45-17 Dunlop Direzza tire.. know I'm going to need spacers to make them clear the front and look right on the car (front and rear )due to the offset...and longer lug bolts also... car has a E30 Bilstein Sport Shocks - E30 (set of 4) T#3714 & H&R OE Sport Spring Set - E30 - 318is 325e 325i 325is M3 T#4342(the springs were rated at lower the car a 1"... whats your thoughts... Thank you...

Well wanted to get the new rollers on my ES for the e30 picnic, went with H&R DR spacers 57.1 bore 15MM front spacers & 20MM rear spacers..my guess work came out ok... looks darn good !.. HMM do I keep my 15 BBS RS wheels as back ups... on the fence on selling those..

That's exactly what I would have suggested. Good work.

Hey guys complete noob here

How will these fit

F 17 8.5 et15

R 17 10.5 et22

I have a feeling they're not gonna fit

Depends on your concept of fit. With extreme rear tire stretch, it works. Needs either airbags or extremely stiff spring rates to pull it off, though.

16x8 et23 e38 Style5's with 18mm adapters on 1990 cabriolet? I would like to lower the car with HR Sports.

No, offset too low.

Hi!

I bought some BBS RS's in 16x8.5 et20 and 16x9 et8. I have 195/45 front and 205/45 rear tyres.

The car will be on bags soon and I'm just wondering what size spacers i should get in order to get the wheels close to lip to fender when aired out.
Thinking of getting 20mm front and 5-10mm rear.

using e30m3 5 lug hubs if it makes any difference.

Thanks! :)

I'm close, I'm thinking 15/5 would do it.

[Mystikal]

Thanks mystikal.

how about 16x8 et25 all around?

3mm front spacers needed.

What size spacers front and rear? 1990 325is on H&R Sport.



So if I wanted to get close to flush without rolling what would you use? could I go front and rear?

10 front and 5 rear for my 225? could I go 10mm and 8mm?

I'd go 10F/5R

Hi Just got myself a 1985 E30 323i Baur TC
Looking at getting some JOM coilovers.
Wondering how a set of 16x8 et20 up front and 16x9 et15 would fit. Would I need spacers? Also what tyres would work?

Other option is 17x9 all round et20 would that work all?


Thanks in Advance.

Can someone help with tire size to go on these rims with out rubbing?

[Project_e30zuse]

Can I run 15x8 fronts and 15x10 rears with 0 offset on stsock suspension?

Just bought my first e30 its a 1991 325i and it's bone stock for the moment. Looking to turn this into a major project but wanted to know if I could run 15x8 4x100 0offset fronts and 15x10 4x100 0offser in the rear on stock suspension.

Will I need to roll my fenders? Do they fit ? Any not to expensive coilovers someone could recommend?

[Blamfam]

If my searching served me ok:

'86 325e, basically stock.
I have acquired 4 DS2's 17x7.5.

Go with 20mm adapters and 215/40 tires?

[Sale30]

17x7.5 ET28 best Tyre size?

What will be the best Tyre size to fit on 17x7.5 ET28 to fill up the gap with the fenders on my 4D 320i 1985? I have D2 Racing full coilovers not yet installed, I was thinking to go with 225/40/17 or 215/45/17 I think the 235/40 is going to be wider than the wheels edge and might cause too much rubbing with the fenders but anyway I'm planning to roll my fenders to give more space for the Tyre to go inside freely.
