    Wheel guru, I need your help!
    I found some BBS RS wheels, they are 4 lug 114.3mm +17 offset, can they be filled and re=drilled, and will they work with that offset?


    Thank you so much

        It would help if we knew the width but you're going to want a 15mm to 20mm spacer for good fitment. The 15mm would be on the safer side for outer tire clearance. Not sure what size tire you plan to run.

            ^^ of course he should have meant that! -42 plus spacers on an e30 is serious business...

Is there a chart or anything that tells what offsets fit e30's without spacers, and then which ones fit with spacers and the size spacer needed-and also a chart for which cars have the same centerbore as e30's?
                    Looking to see if 2004 Sentra's have the same centerbore as e30's (I believe sentra lugs are 4X114, but the wheels I'm looking at are drilled for both 4X114 and 4x100 and came off a 2004 Sentra) The wheels are 15X7 et35 ASA 5 spoke with a center cap with 195/60R15 Blizzaks.
                    Thanks
                    I am the chart, sadly. Those wheels should bolt up to an E30 fine, but front strut clearance will be minimal. B15 Sentra is 66mm center bore and E30 is 57mm so you'll need rings. Related note here's my GF's Spec-V:

                      What will I need?
                      If the XXR's require tuner bolts, those. Otherwise, 205/50/16 should just clear without fender work. 225/45/16 with a basic rear roll.

                        Linear spring-rate coilovers (GC, BC, JOM, etc etc). Something above 500lb/in in the rear.

                          245/35/17 is the easy one, but there's no good tires.

                          245/40 is about the maximum without serious fender pulling.

                            s. My convertible is sitting on Bilstein Sport with H&R sport springs. How streched will the rears be? Is this worth doing? Can't afford new tires as I just bought these. Will they fit, will I have to roll the fenders. Anyone have pictures of this setup?

                            Thanks
                            Tires are too large to work with 16x9s, unfortunately. Maybe with absolute fender hacking but otherwise...nope. Sorry.

                              You'll have to look at the back pad of the wheels to see if redrilling is feasible. Alternatively if the centerbore isn't too large you could stretch the existing holes...basically, in the end you need to get pics to the shop doing the redrill first.

                              Also, need to know wheel diameter and width.

                                I'll assume +42, but yeah, still need the width.
