ok this might sound silly but i'm really not sure of the whole e30 fitment, havent dealt with e30 wheels other than stock baskets really.

BUt, would 14x7 -9 offset wheels work? Or would they poke out a ridiculous amount?

I'm a bit confused because I see people running aaallll kinds of offsets, and stock is -35? 41 on xi's, but some people are doing 0 offset, some even positive, and no cars look ridiculous really.

^ Stock offsets are positive mate (eg +35)

Buying some e60 style 134's for my 91. Running 5 lug adapters as well. Need a idea on adapter sizes with a 16x7 et20 wheel. 15f/20r mm adapters sound about right? I'm on kw v1's trying to get it as flush as possible

What would you suggest for 15x8 et17 Klutch SL1's and 205/50's in order to get a flush fitment on a GC'd E30?

Thanks!

hi! first time posting on here! i wanted toknow how Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 205/50r15 dunlop star spec sport z1's on 15x8 TRM C1's will fit on 318is 1991? ( i think the offset is +20 ) but am very uncertain. thank you!!! ps will i need to roll fenders because im dropping as low as i can ( have coilovers )

[e30shmobberr]

You can fit up to a 225/45/16 with that setup. There are no great tires in that size any longer though, so look at 215/45 and 205/50.

ok and do you know how the fender fitment will be with the 16x7 et37 plus 10 mm spacers? trying to get in idea.

thanks!

BBS RS 16x7 et25 (1' lip) and 16x8 et12 (2' lip). i want to change the lip. how wide i can go to get flush/stance? TIA
for now i'm running koni sport and IE3 w/ drop hats on late model. i might upgrade GC coilover soon. i have tires 205/45/16 never been mount on those rims.

Put the 16x8s up front and buy 2.5" lips for the 16x7s. Net result is a 16x8.5 +6 (awesome). 205/45s are perfect.

thanks much Jay...

what's the camber should i expect on this set up?

So I'm trying to roll my rear fenders but there is some kind of lining that wont let it fold all the way back. Anybody have any idea what this is and can it be removed? I saw on a thread on another forum about some e46 guys having the same problem and that it was some rubber lining.

How bout 16x8/9 et 20 on 215f 225r/40/16...?

Racing hart type c.
17x8

Will I neeed to run spacers?

[Harry's E30]

Brock b1's 16x9 all around et-15 will i need spacers and if so would 1/4 be enough also debating on what tires to run 225/45 or 215/45 and how much fender rolling i will need.
Thanks!

ok, stock fenders. 10" wide rims... meaty tires. possible?

14x7 -9 works, they'll be flush all around so run a smallish tire (175/60? 185/55? I don't even know with 14s).

Smallest adapters are 18-20mm. I'd suggest staying as thin as possible.

Flush is subjective. 5mm rear spacers alone and it will already be close to rubbing.
