A friend of mine is looking to sell his Work CR-01's. Any chance these will fit an '89 with GC/Koni coilovers, and if so what tire sizes am I looking at?

15x8 +10
15x9 +20

[MrGreen]

205/50 no spacers.

Awesome. Thanks!!

Hey guys

Just got these volk 17x8 17x9's for the e30. Offset is 36 so will be getting spacers, but what is the biggest size tyre i can fit with serious guard rolling and what kinda offset would allow that. I need grip so was hoping 235/40 in the back and 215 or 225 in the front if poss!

hey great service here. have one question I've searched and found conflicting answers. i would like to run BBS RZ 469 style 5 16x8 et23 5x120 on my 1991 318ic e30 i will be running adapters with these. what i need to know is 18 or 20mm adapters and what tires should i run 205 45 16 ? the car is lowered on bilstein sport springs and shocks and i do not want to roll fenders if possible. thank you in advance.

i did more searching on your thread specifically and i think these wheels are not for me with the conditions i just described huh? my next question is if i went with this set up how much would i need to roll my fenders thank you.

[marek|steezkal]

Soooo my buddy will be upgrading his wheels/tires on his 330ci so I may be able to buy his style 72's for a good price.

I doubt anyone has run these since they are a staggered setup F: 18x8 et47 R: 18x8.5 et50 72.6 CB.

Any chance these could fit with 18 or 20mm adapters and additional spacers and fender roll? They just looked so good when we rolled the wheels up next to the E30, I had to ask.
Thanks.

Probably has been covered but:

Would (E38 Style 5's) 16x8 ET20 + 18mm adapters run fine on Bilstien B8's + H&R springs?

205's or 215's?

How will the wider track up front alter the steering feel?

[McWattersJ]

Hey I am looking at 15" 8.5 with et17.. I believe the bore is 73.1.

i was thinking 215-225/50's on my early model Vert with stock suspension. I like the poke look so if possible I would push them out more.

Yes I am a newb. Any thoughts? advice?

cheers

New to bmw e30 family i have e30 325i with 5 lug conver. and i want to see if i can fit 17x8.5 et 25-30 on all 4 corners and how big tires. Sorry if im asking same question. THX

I need the full details of your 5-lug.

[Mystikal]

Ok forgive me if I sound completely lots but just trying to get an understanding of bore offset and what not for the E30. I am wanting to run a 17 inch wheel on an '88 325 . I understand the bolt pattern is 4X100. But where I am confused is the bore hub. Here take these wheels http://www.ebay.com/itm/17-4x100-4x1...RW1dzV&vxp=mtr

Would these wheels need spacers in order to fit?
or these ?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/17X9-75-XXR-...5U3BD2&vxp=mtr

The first setup could work with spacers and hubcentric rings. But then you're spending $200+ to get them on. The second set doesn't work.

[Mystikal]

Ok then with those tires will they fit on the car?? Or will I run into any problems....guards are going to get rolled

They'll fit perfect with rolled rears and the sizes I listed.
