Rims How wide can we go?

[no1_jazz]

Hi there fellow members, I am in need of a little help here, a member of the name 318kid on the m42club fourm told me to post this query here so here i am.

Rite let me start of by saying I love wide wheels alloys and rims. I would like to know how wide can us E30 owners go??

1. How wide can we go with rims at the rear without any extra modifications? I.e. spacers etc

2. How wide can we go with extra modifications i.e. spacers etc?

I am talking about the front and the rear how wide can we go all-round with and without extra modifications.

Cheers guys

All help is much appreciated

Many Thanks
Jazz

Its a good idea, but do you at least have some idea of what you want?

15s, 16s, 17s? Any idea on what type and size of tire you want to run?

so far i have come across

Front wheels 17" - 8"wide

& the rear

Rear Wheels 17" - 12"wide

would this rim fitment work with our cars ? and is there any minor/major modifications that would need to be done to achive this?

Cheers guys

All help is much appreciated

Many Thanks

I am running 16x8 all around. I would rub in the rear if not for relatively stiff springs (570 ft lbs).
