    12" wide

    Hi guys, 10" at front and 12" (11,75" to be exact) at rear.... what offset do you recommend?

        "I think he means none as in no offsets, not no offset. 12" is really really wide for an E30 in the back, 8"s fit with et0, camber, and very rolled fenders. I dont know how much more room you have going in, but not THAT much."
        Haha I'll will just put some flares on it or sum...
        12" is brutal (H)

              Yeah I deleted it. Whatever, I wasn't sure of what the widest people have put under rolled/pulled e30 fenders, but still, nowheres near 12". Flares or bust.

                  Here is the rears on mine. E30 M3 5 lug

                  e36 DS2 17x8.5" et41 with 10mm spacers w/ 245/35-17 tires. Rolled flat rear fender lips but not pulled at all. There is roughly 1/4" clearance between the backside of wheel at the trailing arm and the same on the front side at the rolled fender lip. Hope it helps in your quest. But yeah you will need fender flares or something for sure.

                    This car has 16x9.5 et21 and 16x11 et9 wheels.

                    I see no way to fit the sizes you want without flares and make it look good.

                              245s would be most you could really effectively cram under the car without custom fender work beyond pulling/rolling. Also unless your going for a track car I don't see any benifit at all. Of course I go for function vs. form. But then I actually like the look of 14 or 15" Basketweaves and 205s on a E30. Even bottle caps aren't too bad.
