    can anyone help me find a wheel in this spec?

    16" x 7" or 16" x 7.5"
    5x120
    et of around 27-29mm
    basketweave

    I've been trying to find the perfect wheel to run on my 5 lug e30. right now i'm running 16x7.5 E28 M5 basketweaves with an et of 20 and i'm getting major rubbing even after serious fender rolling. i'm running j stock suspension and the car is pretty low. i need a wheel with a higher offset so it sits closer to the centerline of the car and away from the fender.
    anyone know of a wheel that might fit the bill?

    E38 basket weave. It's 16x8 et 23. Fits VERY nicely. Get a set of 5-10 mm spacers for the rear to fit flush with fender, to match the front.

      a 16x8 et23 will stick out 2mm further overall than a 16x7.5 et20, correct? that will only make my problem worse.

          All I can think of is the 16x7 ET20 E39 basketweave, it was an option for winter packages in NA. That will pull in the tire a little bit, not much though.

          But yeah, what tire are you trying to run? And I'm assuming you have E30 M3 parts.
