    will 17x8/9 with low offsets fit?

    car is an 88 325is. looking at keeping my rs's from my previous car but i would need to run a 2 piece adapter leaving me very low offsets. it would b 8" front with a et8 and the rear would be 9" et 5. i will roll the fenders but i just wanted to get an idea. thanx

    Stretched tires, stiff rear springs, and cut rear fenders.

      5x114? Just curious. And yeah it'll fit with some fender rolling and stretched rubber. I'd go with 205/40/17 all around to be safe.

        5x112. i just built these not to long ago for my s4 but thought i might be able to pull them off on the e30 since they are all black on a white car. i didnt want to redrill them. i had 1 adapter made to test fit which i'll probably do this weekend. if it works i can order the other 3. i had 205/40's on some 17x8's and they had mild stretch. i think those are what i would try first. thanx guys

                Hot. The wheels will look better on the E30, 17's are just a touch too small for B5's, just like E36s (unless they are huge dish versions). I just moved to 18x8 and 18x9 on my M3, no pics yet but it looks better.

                  yeah they do seem small and making them all black only made them look smaller. on the e30 i'll prolly do gold centers/polished lips.

                    That's exactly what I did with the new BBS' on my M3. Gold centers, polished lips/bolts. :D
