    I just saw the work equip 40s.

    Would anyone be able to help with choosing the appropriate offset in 15x8/15x9 size?
    Link to the spec sheet --> http://www.work-wheels.com.au/files/pdf/equip-40.pdf

    Also would you think I would be able to run a bbk if I went the standard or big brake barrel choice?

      Setup: Koni SA, ie3 race springs, e90 hats, gc sport camber plates.

      Desired wheel: 15x8 et20 all corners (trm c1)

      Question: What’s a good tire size that won’t rub? 215/45/15? 225? 50? Also, will I need spacers and if so, what size? Thanks!

        Is 16x8 et7 all around too aggressive? I’ll be running 215/45/16 tires with a slight roll all around.
        Original wheel is 16x8 et32 but will be running a 25mm adapter
        Suspension: coilovers

          Beyern mesh

          I really like the Beyern mesh style wheels and I have them on my ‘89. They were on the car when I got it.

          My son wants them on his ‘87. They are 15x7 and both the cars are stock suspension.

          Are all the Beyern mesh wheels the same offset/backspace?

          Can we go up to a 16”? Or, are there 15x7.5 or 8?

          I’m not finding any info really, from what I can tell if you want a Beyern mesh you don’t get to pick and choose between different widths?
          My son has the 1987 325e, 2 door, 5speed
          I daily the 1989 325i, 4 door, 5speed

            Looking at a set of e38 style 5s with 205/50 tires, can i use adapters or do they have to be filled and drilled?

              With 205 you can use adapters, although they will be pretty aggressive at ET5

                        Staggered Style 18

                        I have a shot at some cheap Style 18s on CL. $200 asking.

                        17x7 front and 17x7.5 rear, all are ET41.

                        If I get them I'll probably get 4-5 lug 18mm adapters. I tried looking for pix of these wheels mounted on an E30 but I'm not finding any. Is there a reason these wheels wouldn't work on an E30 with spacers?

                        Car is a stock height 92 cabrio that has an M30 swap.

                        Thanks!

                            I’m running them right now drilled and filled no spacers and 225/45r17. Those two sizes you put are way small. If you want to run a 205 you should go 50 series.
