just picked up some borbet type a's 16x9 all around. Front wheels rub slightly on the stock front calipers. How many mm spacer will i need? I've read 3mm, but is that enough? I would get 8mm, but i don't want to buy extended lug bolts too. Someone with these wheels please chime in. Thanks

Looking to pick up some wheels for winter duty and I see a bunch of JDM wheels available, but what offset would work?

would a 15x6 ET35 work without a spacer? or do I need to find something in the ET25 range?

5mm should be enough.

Yes, 15x6 +35 fits. Just make sure you're not buying OE wheels as many 4x100 Japanese cars have smaller centerbores than E30s.

Thanks for the reminder about the centerbore.

Depends on the wheel. If you can turn the bolt a full 4-5 rotations you're safe, otherwise you'll need longer bolts.

I want to run a 205/50-16 Conti DWS all around.

I have an Eastwood fender roller. Should I roll the fenders?

[rnw]

Yes, 235/40. The shorter diameter will ease fitment, it's a perfect E36 size.

Hi mistykal,
Have problem to find 235/40/17 size here. Do you have another option? How How about 245/40/17 ?

Definitely need a roll. You might catch a fender if you enter a driveway or climb a speedbump with the wheel turned due to the large diameter of the tire (for a +15 fitment, anyway).

I know why you're set on that size (DWS doesn't come in too many low profile sizes) but 205/45 and 215/45 are better choices for that wheel.

Won't fit.

Newb here with a couple questions-

1. My iX did not come with the oem basket weave wheels unfortunately, but I have seen 15" baskets for sale on other models. Will all 15" Oem baskets fit on my car or are the iX ones the only wheels that work? These things are impossible to track down :(

2. I've seen several iX ads on eBay and several people mention 14" wheels being on their car, but I was under the impression that they wouldn't clear the brakes? If 14" baskets fit, I will go get some instead.

Sorry if this question has been asked a million timea

Very much appreciated!

Will I need a flat roll?

The iX basketweaves are cheaper than Euro 15" ones, at least when I was in the game. Both fit, the Euro ones sit nice and flush.

14" stock E30 wheels fit also.

Very much appreciated!

Nothing out of the ordinary, bend it in safely.
