anyone running staggered 5 lug doublespoke IIs?

[hugh jass]

I have a set I want to run on my 5 lug e30 and am wondering what size spacer i'll need in the back for 235/40/17 or 245/40/17 rear and 225/45/17 front. thanks.

E36 5-lug or E30 5-lug?

E36 5-lug or E30 5-lug?

i thought proper ds2s are staggered? that being they are 8.5 in the rear. arent those to wide?

you tard, the e30 can take either e30 or e36 5 lug parts

Why go staggered when you can go 8.5 all around?

they are e30 m3 5 lug bits. and the wheels are 7.5" wide front, 8.5" wide rear. i think i can run a 235/40 rear and not rub, but i just need to know what size spacer will give me the right offset. i think the offset on those wheels is 41 mm, so a 20 mm spacer will get me in the ballpark, no?

If my memory is correct, 20-25 is ideal. I will know for sure once I get all mine mounted later this summer.

15/20 mm spacers. Anyone know which one works? Il Duce had 8.5's on as well. He may know what fit.

15mm spacers on the front, and you will probably need some rear spacing too. Not entirely sure on the inside room, but 15mm spacers back there will work nicely too.

FWIW, Jordan's car on 17x8.5" DSII's all around had E30 M3 struts as well as 12mm rotor spacers, and he jammed in 245's on the front, 255's on the back. Needed 3mm front spacers to clear the struts, making it 15mm of spacing up front and 12mm rear.

If I were you, I'd just run 235/40/17 all around with 15mm spacers (front and rear).

His car had E36 struts, so not really relevant here.
