Rims don't fit...

[humanzamboni4224]

Hey guys I put this set of Black and silver rims that I got from a buddy on my BMW 1987 325ES this weekend, and as I drove away... I heard click clack click clack with every rotation of the tire. I investigated the noise and found out it was the two front tires. They rub just barely against the shock tower I guess. How can I get a little bit of room so they fit. I have my stock bottlecaps on the front and my rims on the rear cause they fit fine in the rear. Hope you guys are able to help me because my car looks haha "Ghetto" with rims on the rear and bottles in the front. Thanks guys

Does your buddy own a Honda ? :D

The offset on the rims is to high and not right for your E30 .
The offset on the front of our cars needs to be no higher than et32-et35 or they will interfere with the ft struts .

You can install spacers and then they will clear .
Get quality spacers though .

H&R makes good 5mm spacers. If you go thicker like 20mm, they will be hubcentric.

You must post the rim size, offset and tire size.
