    20mm or 35mm offset???

    I found some brand new Konig Remembers 16" wheels. Will both the 20mm and 35 mm fit my car bolt on? oh yea, I have a 1990 325is. Thnx in advance.

    if they're the 7" wide wheels, +20 would be preferred.

    +35 might fit ok but it would sit closer to the inside of the car.

      Thanks

      Thanks Fretburnr, oh yea, i forgot that im waiting on some H&R Race springs and Bilstein shocks that I already ordered. Would this interfere?

      The Konig Remembers are:
      Dimension: 16" x 7"
      Offset: 20mm or 35mm
      Hub Bore: 73.1mm
      Bolt Pattern: 4 X 100.

      Also will original BMW center caps fit these wheels?

        The caps will most likely NOT fit.

        And 35mm will look horrible. Like little babies will cry horrible. That's how bad the offset is on them.

          cool

          Thanks rwdrift on the insight. So the 20mm wheels would be the way to go. Thanks again.

            i have the h&r race springs. i have a 205/50/16 tires but i will go with a 45 series next time. probably a 225/45/16. And i belive i have the 70mm caps. The BBS ones also fit but i did not want to be a poser. Good luck with your project. I just added up my receipts. Tally is now over six grand in last year but the first canyon drive made it all worth it.

              Wrong centerbore, you need 57.1

                73.1 center bore is like E30M3 size. (along with a lot of later model stuff)

                  They made them 57.1mm? Just get hubcentric rings.

                    ...

                    So the Hub Bore: 73.1mm will not fit on my car? Maybe I should just go with the Ronal LS's.

                      In this case, you could get the 35mm version, buy 15mm hubcentric spacers so they sit on the hub correctly, then it will give you an offset of 20.

                        Don't be afraid of hubcentric rings. The ONLY wheels that have E30 centerbores are ones made exclusively for the car, like the Ronals, or old BBS', or current race setups like the Rota Slipstreams.

                        You'd be perfectly fine with them.

                          ...

                          Sorry, newbie. So if i went with the Konig Remembers 35mm offset, with 15mm hubcentric spacers, how far will the wheels protrude? Will I be rubbing fender? What about the 20mm offset wheels? especially since I am putting in H&R Race Springs and Billys? Also what brand or does it matter for the hubcenter spacers? I saw that Rogue Engineering has them, but not for the e30. H&R makes some that look pretty good. Thanks for the help everyone. peace

                            Don't waste time and money putting stuff together. Just get the correct offset and use hub rings. Mine were given to me for free when i bought tires. And there is zero rub with the H&R race springs.

                              et35 wheels with 15mm hub centric spacers would result in the end be a et20 fitment....FYI
