Originally posted by Ayodmo View PostWhen it comes to offsets, I'm completely clueless. I have a 1991 bmw 325i right now and I'm on the hunt for new wheels. When I was younger I always wanted an e30 with bbs-rs wheels, so that's what I plan to get. I currently found a set that is 8.5 and 9.5 size 16" with +15et. Does anyone know if that will fit fine? Will I need to buy some spacers?! And as for the tires, my car is currently bagged so I would like it to sit somewhat flush when it's aired out.
The old setup I had was...
17x8 et33 in the front
17x10 et20 in the rears
I also had adapters on the car which obv pushed the wheels out more but I forget what size they were...
**The wheels I am planning to get are 4x100 so adapters won't be needed. If anything, I will need spacers if it doesn't clear something.
long story short...I just want to know if those spec wheels will fit my car without a problem. If they won't fit, what size spacers will I need and what size tires will I need?!
appreciate any and all help :D

EDIT:
Actually nm looks like they will fit with 205/50 but lots of fender rolling/pulling probably required (I have a later model). I guess what I don't know without test fitting them is what size wheel spacers I'll need?Last edited by Mushroom Stew; 03-03-2016, 12:24 PM.

thanks man! :D:D
I'm gonna order em, test fit em and if worse comes to worse, i'll get some spacers!

So I picked up an e36 TI msport and bought a set of ACS typeII monoblocks. 17" 8.5 et15 and 9.5 et 22. I test fit them and they clear but poke more that I had thought they would. I'm unsure on tire size. Input would be greatly appreciated.Looking for a 3.46 or lower LSD. Lets make a deal.
LSx e36TI coming soon

Pretty sure that'd fit without rolling in the rear, the front may require a ~5mm spacer depending on the coil/collar/spring's relationship to the wheel.
I think 205/50 is perfect on an 8, that's what I'm running, 16x8 et20 with spacers making effective et 13F 10R but my fenders are rolled, also a late coupé and I don't know specifically know about sedans.-Christian
