How well will these fit on a mostly stock '92 e30 Cabrio? 16x7 +30 4x100 Sparco Terra with 215/50-16 Dunlop Direzza DZ102.

Well. Fronts will be very close to the struts though, might need a 3mm for safety.

I am currently purchasing esm 002's staggered 16x8 F(20 offset) 16x9 R(15 offset). What size tires are my best bet. Also, do i need spacers for the fronts or rears?

205/45 all around. No spacers.

[Mystikal]

Will this require spacers to clear the caliper?
front: bbs rs 039 16x7 et24
rear: bbs rs 040 16x8 et24

Shouldn't.

Huge thanks man. Great info. I ended up with a different set of wheels. Work 17x8/9 et 35 with 18mm adapters. Put 235/40 on the rear and 215/45 on the front...cause I nerded out about matching sidewalk height. Front clear with the roll and pull but I rub on the front of the wheel well. Rear is just about perfect. Going to try 215/40.

And yeah man no joke on the spring rates. Bouncy as fuuuug. I will be looking into your recommendation for sure.

Thanks again!

Nice. 205/45 would match better IMO.

16"x8" ET29. Tires are 225/45R16.

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

10mm front hubcentric. Rears can work with none at all, up to 5mm works without fender rolling. 10mm if rolled flat.

thanks, this is a great thing you are doing.

For autox and fitment would you recommend 205/50 potenza , dunlop direzza 225/45 or bfg rizal s 215/45

225/45 z2

Will a 16x9 ET 25mm fit all around with 205/50/16's?

welp. i suppose it does NOT fit...sad day.

Rears fit GREAT, couldnt be more perfect. However the fronts stick out a good amount from the fender AND they are rubbing the struts.

Going to get 5mm spacers and extended bolts. See if it at least fixes the clearance issues. i think a lower profile tire will be more useful as well, thinking a 45 or 40 instead of the 50mm.

I think it's going to look pretty terrible sticking out 5mm more up front

Looking to get a set of wheels. I plan on running 15x8 +38 in the rear and 15x7 +25 in the front. What size spacer/tire should I run for an aggressive fitment?

[Chrisv006]

Could I run BBS style 29's with 18mm 5x120 adapter on a 1990 convertible, lowered about 1.5" with no rolling? What tire size would work?

Seems like the gurus have left the building.

Looking at a 17x8.5 +35 offset. What can I do to get to them to work?

[Mediumrarechicken]

Don't think 949 ever actually released the 6UL for SE30. Most run Kosei K1, D Force, or the Jongbloed

They make them specifically for the e30, they have for a few years it looks like. http://949racing.com/15x7-6UL-SE30.aspx

I'm looking to get some 6ul's, I've looked and looked on Google for pics. Thing is I've only come across ones that are running the miata version. I can't find the spec e30's is anyone running these wheels? Or something else i n a 15x7 15 offset

Don't think 949 ever actually released the 6UL for SE30. Most run Kosei K1, D Force, or the Jongbloed

[AusScare]

What good 16x8 +20 wheels are available?

Hoping to run 205/50 front and 225/45 rear, as well as RX7 calipers in the front.

Does this perfect wheel exist?
