    POLL:Best wheel fitment for lowered E30's

    just voting.
    no discussion about anything.
    obviously I'm wrestling with a wheel setup.
    Daily driving (summer only) and some spirited track time is key

      16x8 ET 15 is good choice, could be also 16x9" ET 15 and it'd still fit.
      - E34 M5 (x 2) -
      - E30 V8 Cabrio "Kylpyamme" -
      - Alpina D10 Touring #33/94 -

        my 16x9s (et 15) have 215/40x16 tires, stretched; 10mm spacers front, 20mm rear, but they poke really awesome.
        As soon as I get my toe/camber kit in the rear, I might have to get a smaller spacer for the rear.

          it also depends on how wide of a tire you want to run.

              16x9 et 25 would make you civic stand out in a crowd.

              Seriously though, you may need spacers, except for 2 of them.

              15X8 et 0 Sportmax
              15x8 et 15 Borbets, Rotas, etc
              16x8 et 35 JDM wheels
              16x8 et 15 Borbets, Rotas, etc
              15x7 et 13 Euro-weaves

              About right?

                top shelf sleuthering Aptyp...almost all on the money-

                I'm actually tossed up on a set of RH Cup's, Keskin KT1's (not listed here cuz I'd go 16x9:hitler:....)

                I think the smartest way to go would be some 15x7(or bigger width) would rather not go Sportmax (as everyone has them)

                i'd need some serious fender rolling with fat 16's...as i'm quite low due to my ammortizazor setup.

                        what wheels you talking about needing spacers? 16x9 et25 should run around a 15mm, same as the et25, the rest are too low as it is already.

                        and the 15" weaves are et24
