Will a 17x8.5 et21 wheel fit the front with fender rolling and stretched tire? Car is a 1991 318i, 5lug e36 non M, GC coilovers.

I have an 84 318i with rear drums. I am doing 5 lug swap using dropout from a 3.0 Z3 and front dropout from an e36 M3. What offset would keep the wheels in approximately the same plane as original? Bonus question: I would prefer 15" or 16" wheels so what width can I use with this set up? Thanks

I've been looking for steelies for my 1991 325iX, and came across Bassett wheels. They look great, and I've seen people use them on their E30s, but I'm not sure how. The ones I'm looking at would equate to a +0 offset, which would obviously poke the wheels out another 41mm from my current stock basketweaves. I like a little width in my stance, and some deep dish action, but how much can I get away with? I'm still pretty new to wheel metrics, and while I have a handle on the math, I'm lacking in the experience. I'm not sure if these would work without needing something else like rolling fenders, etc. Anyone have experience with this/these?
These specifically.

Someone recently pointed out this tool to me.
Wheel Fitment Tool on Etsy --- There are probably a dozen copies but it looks pretty well made.

This seems useful if you already have tires to try for fitment.

Hey all,
Digging through this thread and found some applicable advice but thought I'd ask for my specific application.
1987 325is
M54-swapped
H&R Sport Springs
Body needs work but stock at this point... figure now is the time to roll and pull if needed (want to avoid flares) before painting.
Looking at the SSR Formula Mesh in 16x9 et27
What spacers would I need if any?
Prefer a square setup with meaty tires. Ideally would like to go 245/45R16 all around. It seems with my early model I should have an easier time fitting but still need some rolling. Thoughts?

The +0 might fit alright with stretched tires and fender rolling, but I don't think you're going for that.

Originally posted by AusScare View PostMystikal wondering if you have any insight on this combo. I'm looking to fit meaty tyres under my 318is as it's being swapped with a 600hp motor.
Currently running:
TRM C1 15x8 +20
Hankook RS-4 225/45r15 front and rear
No spacers, rolled arches, KW V3 Coilovers and camber tops.
Want to run:
BBS RS 15x8 +18 front
BBS RS 15x8.5 +12 rear
Nankang CR-S 225/45r15 front
Nankang CR-S 245/40r15 rear
Very hard to find info on anyone running 245/40r15 rear tyres on an e30. Do you think this will work ok given it's an 8.5" wheel, so less chance of touching the inner wheel well? I'm not sure if the Nankangs run wider than the Hankooks, so that could work for or against me.
Thanks!
Rears: I ran 16x9 ET15 with 245/45R16 Toyo T1R. Late model car, rolled/massaged rear arches. Rubs if car gets too low.
The CR-S are going to be wider(duh) but much shorter, but even with the outer face of the wheel being 3mm less for you, the tire will probably be sticking out at least another 10mm? I don't think you're going to fit unless you simply have the car high enough not to rub.

Hi guys,
Car is a 90 325i Sedan
Front E36 5 lug conversion + E36 M3 brakes
Rear Z3 5 lug conversion
Wheels in question will be BBS style 32's
Front 17x8 et20 - 215/40's
Rear 17x9 et22 - 235/40's
Do you think its an aggressive combo?
Thanks in advance.
