    special request: who has a pic for me?!?

    lookin for some pics of basketweaves with 15mm spacers. also whats the stock offset on basketweaves (dont feel like breakin some lugs off to find out) and whats the furthest i could space em out? one more, do h&r spacers and proper lugs reduce ride quality?? thanks

    Okay to answer all that stuff:

    I don't have a picture of spaced out baskets, but there are surely some on this site, maybe someone will come along.

    The stock offset on basketweaves is ET30. You could most likely space them to ET15 using a 15mm spacer to have them sit flush with the fender, but depends on the tire you are using.

    Not sure how far you can do it, but that would probably be the limit (ET15 with a 15mm spacer).

    If you use H&R HUBCENTRIC spacers you will be fine. Note that there are no hubcentric spacers that are under 15mm. So if you got a 15mm hubcentric spacer for your E30, they would do perfectly.

    You should also note that the E30 centerbore is 57.1mm. And if I got anything wrong, Jay will chime in.

        If your car is lowered you will have some rub with 15mm spacers and those 205s.

          thanks for the heads up. what about 195/60/14. they are significantly smaller. i actually run that size up front iwth 205s in the back. i am aware that they are smaller than the recommended size and my speedo is probably ahead. this actually helps me because i tend to drive fast. if my speedo is faster than it should be, technically ill be drivin a lot slower

                Can't remember the guy's username. Khrazvra or something, did that with his baskets. Red turbo car.

                Yeah I'm not helpful. I can tell you that with 15mm spacers you should be fine with 195s. RT-615s in that size are better than any street 205 14" tire anyways.
