    I plan on buying a set of wheels for my car. They will be nine inches wide on all four corners. Do you think it is too wide or it will cause a problem if I fit these wheels ? Thanks.

    You will need to roll the shit outta your fenders if your car is lowered.

        You also could have searched, as tons of people run Borbet Type A's, and other tires 9" wide...

          No.

          And no.

          I rocked 16x9s on stock fenders all day for years with no problem. Oh yeah, I was drifting too.

          It does all come down to offset and tire selection. Good news is that I have yet to see a high offset 9" wheel for e30s, and the better news is that there are always spacers to make things work. :)

          Just make sure to keep the offset between et10-et15 and you're golden (if you really don't want to do any rolling). The front will need to be at et12 at least to clear the front struts (unless you have an early 4 banger).

            /\ I was meaning depending on the tire size.
