Offset for stupidly wide wheels?

[radback]

I had KW V2's on my Jetta, I wanted to get a set for the Bimmer but my KW dealer here says there is no listing for E30 :? Also did they make RS's 4x100 in 16"? I'v only seen 15" RS' in 4x100

KW Variant2 exist for E30. They cost around 1000 euro in germany

yes they do. i have KW V1 in my car. tunershop.com carries them, you have to special order for that. they also have KW V2 as well for around $1,600 if i'm not mistaken.

Is the KW a true coil-over system in the rear?

I can get the H&R coilovers for 1,900 CDN with tax. I hear H&R's are even better then the KW's

[Mystikal]

That's a damn good deal. Are you considering them?

but i think w/ H&R only the front that's adjustable, the rear isn't. if i'm not mistaken.

Ok so I am building up a custom set of Corrado steelies in 15". The fronts will be 15x8 and the rears will be 15x9 with a nice lip. I can get the offset changed to whatever I would like. What would work best on my E30? The Corrado steelies are ET35 right now

Thanks

PS. The H&Rs are fully adjustable front and rear ;)

Just measure the backspace and compare it to any wheel you want to fit. As long as you leave a good 15-20mm of clearence you shouldnt get into any trouble at all. You can pretty much just ignore the offset if you get the backspace correct.

16x9 wheels, et15, w/ 215/40/16s (i know, its undersized and it will be stretched).
- On a 318iS with H&R sports springs

would this set fit w/o fender mods, what if i went 225s? et15 low enough, or will I still need spacers?

Thanks.

for 16x9's with a 215/40, I beleave you need et7.

^^^ ET 5 maybe ? AndreNY had ET 5 on his old Borbet A

What offset is needed to have a 10" wide wheel up front with no (or as little possible) rubbing. Only the inside matters, fender clearance is not an issue.

How about 12" out back? again, inside only, fenders don't matter.

10 -12 front
12 -12 rear

will clear strut and inner fender.. would need much wider fenders.

im sure its been sorted by now

10"+0 is the highest offset you can run for 10s in the front

i have 9.5+8 in the front of mine and have about 3-5mm of clearance and 10+0 will be the same inner specs

as for the rears

i ran 10+22 in the rear with 5-6mm clearance

you can run 12"-4 with the same clearance

you will be 2-2.25" ouside the rear fenders

im sure its been sorted by now

lol 7 years i hope he got it covered
