Updating the wheels on the 89 325is. Tired of 17s. I've got a set of 16x7.5 et35 Ronal Ls 5 lug wheels with 318ti rear and e36 m3 front suspension. Hoping to fit 225/45 but will go 205/50 if needed. Fenders aren't rolled and don't plan on rolling.

Thanks!

bbs rims

I am going to purchase these rims and tires tomorrow. I was wondering if these rims would fit a stock 1992 bmw e30 325ic mtech. Is $700 a good deal?

Currently running:

16x8 ET 20
16x9 ET 15
205/45/16 s drives all around

Early model with GC conversion, front perches removed.

What would be the maximum size spacer that I could run with a decent roll on the fenders. I'm not satisfied with the rear fitment with the 205's currently, even though the s drives seem to run a bit wider than others..

15x7 et35 or et25. Do I need spacers? 205/55?

Hi,

Thank you as always for your guidance on this. I am looking at some BBS RS wheels. Specs:
Fronts 16x8(+27), Rears 16x8.5 (+19)

Going on an early model, coilover suspension. Would like as much rubber without rolling fenders as possible.

Thanks in advance!

currently running a 205/45R16 x7.5 et20 .tires are too narrow for me. kinda looking for the tires to bulge over the rim instead of being square or stretched.

need new tires and im looking for a meaty setup. im between 205/50 or 225/50.
im pretty sure they will both fit the 7.5's but i believe the 225's will rub the strut. any idea on how much of a spacer i would need to let a 225 clear with et20?

It says that these will not fit a 1991 325i, does enkei make any that would fit an e30. Seems that everything matches except for center bore.

EDIT: Okay, so I found a set that sold on VWVortex with a 57.1mm hub. Anyone know where to get them, other than from a private seller?

225/45 should fit without a roll, barely.

Needs -15-20mm spacers to look good and fit well.

10-15mm depending on how well you roll it.

215/45 or 225/45. 225/50 is too tall. No spacers.
