I wanted to get Konig Rewind gun metals but it appears they only come in a et40. So now ive switched to Rota GT3 gun metal. I'm pleased they come in 16x7 (what i was going for) now my question is are they gonna fit. i dont see an offset rating or hub rating for them

The only Rota that will bolt up to an E30 and fit properly without spacers are the custom drilled Slipstreams from 18racing.com.

Hey - Maybe someone can help me. I just scored a set of enkei 92s. They are 15'' in diameter but I don't know how wide. They currently have a 205 series tire. I'm thinking 15x7 - 8 at the most. Anyways, they are et0. What are my tire options? I'm running billy sports on eibachs - so maybe like a 1.5'' drop.

The 15x7 ET25 57.1mm and the 16x8 ET20 will both fit ours cars well (4x100 for both, of course). The 16x8 won't be a problem with 205/50/16 tires.

Anything bigger than a 195/55/15 is going to require some heavy fender work."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."

Originally posted by Turf1600 View PostYeah. The lip is pretty huge. I wonder if I can have some metal shaved off the mounting surface? Something like et13 would be ideal for me I think.

A lot of those super low offset wheels won't even clear the brakes without any machining."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."

Ok how about this one...
Looking at 15" BBS RS's 001 in 4x100. The original offset was +25, but since then lips have been added to make the front 15x8 and the rears 15x8.5. I know this changes the offset.... but how we looking on a fitment for an e30? 205/50/15 for tires ok?
