    BBS rims and spacer question

    Hey guys I have found a set of 15" BBS weaves that I want to confirm will fit an E30.

    I posted this question in the wrong section of the forum.

    From what I have read 4X100 with 35 mm offset should bolt right on.

    I found a set that were on a pontiac pursuit and the numbers on the alloys read
    BBS
    6JX15H2
    375ET35

    The ET35 is the offset correct?

    Where do I find the Bore size?

    Spacer where do I find one and should it be fitted to hub?

    You probably have to measure for the bore size. That should fit if you can find a 10mm hubcentric spacer though.

      How much are they? I'm looking at buying almost the same wheels right now, but the ones I'm scoping out are 7"x15" et35 4x100.

      Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

        at et35 (6 in wide) youre going to want at least a 15mm spacer. i have an et38 winter wheel set and even with the 20mm its not as far out as i want it to be.

        have to measure the hub bore size, as they tend to be different from european - domestic. e30 is 57.1mm

          For looks you are right, but to clear the inner bits you'd only need 8mm or so, maybe a little less.

            You actually need nothing to clear the inside. They're that narrow.

            But definitely at least 15mm to look good.

                  If you're going to do it, go wider. 20mm minimum.

                    with my et38 rims i am:
                    15mm spacer in the front (20mm would look better)
                    20mm spacer in the back (25mm would look better)

                    25mm spacers are hard to come by, though.
