Do the TRMotorsport C1's (15x7) for the e30 off of tirerack require hubcentric rings?

Hmm 275's on an early chassis with 5 lug m3 stuff? On a 9" rim?

Wow, didn't realize how long I was away guys. Sorry!

Found a set of 17's Nitto Neogen. Tires are 215/45/17 will this fit on my 87 325e?

Depending on wheel offset, yes. They may lightly brush the front inner fender during parking lot maneuvers.

Does anyone know if the BBS Euroweave wheel 7 X 15 4 X 100 ET24 will fit on the 325IX which has a BBS 15" wheel with ET41 offset?

Yes, they fit no problem. Run a 205/55 or 205/50.

87 vert, stock. Want to go 15x8 et 25 and 205/55/15 to keep diameter same instead of 205/50/15, will this work without spacers? Is 225/50/15 too big? Thx!

You will rub with either the 205/55 or 225/50. Also, you will need 3-5mm spacers to clear the front struts. With a rear fender roll 205/55 is possible, with an aggressive roll 225/50 is in the cards.

I have some gti/Cabriolet 14x6 Snowflakes that are et38 and want to know if I can run them without many issues. I know the offset is 3mm more to the inside of the tire and as it sits there is only about half of an inch difference. Also what do I do about the conical vs. tapered lugs. The e30 has tapered and the VW wheels are conical so can I use the vw lugs on the e30?

As long as they clear the calipers you're good. If the VW bolts are also M12x1.5 and spin at least 5 turns before seating then sure, use 'em.

Need to know the offset and width of the wheels. Also, if they're on a VR6, then no.

The rears are going to be poking A LOT. Expect to be rolling the fenders for an afternoon or so.

Studs and tuner nuts.

No...

Mystikal you are the man. I appreciate the help.

What tires could I fit on some 16x9.5 around et15-20?

[Brandon12V]

16x8 et10 w/ 17mm spacer up front. 225/45/16 BFG KDW II's. h&r race w/ bilstein sports. will they fit with eurostop flares? (Eurostop says the flares add 2" flare to the fenders)

First, they wouldn't clear the strut housings at that offset (assuming you meant all around 9.5s). Then, you'd be poking out so far that even a 205 would require heavy fender work.
