@ Staszek. That is the perfect wheel set up for E30 in my opinion. I have been running it for years. The only questions would be tire brand name. 224/45/16 Nexen may not rub up front, whereas 225/45/16 Goodyear may rub. Each manufacturer has their own specs.
Sounds crazy but good luck. Cheers!

I asked this question earlier, but just stumbled on some new wheels for cheap.
1989 325is
Suspension
Ground Control Street kit Coilovers
Nasieg 5-lug conversion
Front
e36 M3 front hub (Pushes out +12mm)
Rear
z4 Hubs (Pushes out +2.5mm)
Wheels
e39 Fitment Style 32s
Front - 17x8 et20
Rear - 17x9 et26
I have hubcentric 10mm, 5mm, and 3mm spacers on hand and can do a roll as well.
What tire sizes am I looking at?
Thanks!

The 3mm spacer on the 16s is for caliper clearance, the apex won't need that
For tires I chose
215/45 front hankook rs3
225/45 rear hankook rs3
Will report back how they fit
And the tires are all way too tall.

Thx for the input.
Front has a ~5mm gap between strut, so the offset is just right for front with the 5x120 sleeves. The tires are pretty tall but they just barely fit in the front.

What about 16x8 et 20, stock 4 lug set up.
225/45R16?
Ok sounds good I was planning on rolling the rears anyway so they would fit fine with that.

DIREZZA ZII STAR SPEC they have the same section width as the Nexen at 8.9"
So hopefully that would work!

Jay,
Any thoughts on how I could fit BBS RM's on my '92 vert? I know stock on the wheels is 15x6.5 et 33.
I'm looking at a set that 8" wide with bigger lips. I'd want to have 3" lips on the rear. Would that work?
Suspension is GC conversion kit.
Thankssigpic
