You should be able to use those without spacers, but they will be very sunken into the arches and look poor. I'd suggest 20mm spacers all around with 205/55 or 205/50 tires for the best look and performance.

That sounds good. I have been told that there 205/40-17 tire fit in the rotation, no any bigger. I've thinking about that spacer. The front 15mm and rear 20mm spacer spacer. Thanks for info

We speak offset. Shoot me the available sizes.

15"X7" 15 OFFSET.
16"X8" 15 OFFSET.

What size tire would you suggest?

will eventually run Vogtland coils.

I have a set of ESM BBS Reps from my vert. Staggered setup rear-16x9 et20
front- 16x7.5 et20. Will this fit my IX on stock suspension? If so what tires size (with meat) can i wrap these with?

[lambo]

16x9 et10 will clear gc's, correct?

15's won't rub. 16's won't rub with 205/50 tires. Strut clearance is fine but caliper clearance is dictated by spoke shape and not wheel specs. Gotta test fit them if you've never seen them on an E30 before.

They are both BBS RS wheels, does that help me?


Thanks for everything you do btw. I appreciate it.

I am working on doing a 5-lug swap on the E30. All the parts for the swap are off a 98 M3 and Z3. I'm not used to looking for 5 lug wheels or their offsets. I will be running Ary's DTM flares to cover some gnarly fender rubbage from the PO, but I want to know what to look for.
I will be running GC coilovers on the struts. I'd like to run 9-10" squared wheel setup for as much grip as possible. The power plant if pretty beefy.

Whats a good offset to shoot for, or where will the outsides of my hubs sit now in relation to the 4-lug so I can do some math.

Thanks!

16X8 et20 Rota slip streams. Lowered on GC coils. Slightly rolled in the rear, barely rolled in the front.

Currently rubbing like a mad man under turning or acceleration with 225/50/16 Nexens. Looking to move to 225/45/16 Dunlop starspec zII. Thoughts?

Fits with a rear roll.

ive been looking at rpf1s any one have any experance with these they are a 16x7 35 will these fit with out spacers or will they look strange with out spacers thanks for the help

Needs spacers. Rec 20mm all around.

Wow sorry, I read that as 15". 205/40 is ideal, and yes 15/20 spacers are a good idea.

15"X7" 15 OFFSET.
16"X8" 15 OFFSET.

Both of those fit. I'd use 205/50/15 or 205/45/16.

Nope. iXs need higher offsets, those are for RWD E30s.

[Mystikal]

16x9 et10 will clear gc's, correct?

If the springs are 6" tall or less and the perch is away from the wheel, yes.

Should help, google E30 + RS(insert 3 digit model number here)

Your new wheel geometry is very close to a stock E36 now. What clear the struts on an E36 will clear on your car, so for example 8" +40 is a common fitment.

You're probably looking for +25 to +30 for a 9-10" up front. +35 to +40 rear (ideally).

It's me again, your favorite question asker! I bought a set of bbs rs's at 5x114.3 16x7" and 16x8" and a et of 45 How thick of adaptors should i go for a nice fitment on a unrolled late-model on h&r sports. Recommended tire size as well?

I love you <3
