    16x8 et0?

    so im buyin some rims for my cabrio that are 16x8 with et0 i was wondering if it would sit flush with my fender? i dont really want the rim stick out. and if they would, would an et15 be better in regard to fitment?

    Search for threads with Sportmax et0's.

    Yes they will stick out .....especially in the front.
    You'll be better off, on a daily at least, going with et15's and spacing out to you liking if at all.

      unless you have some mad camber

      16x8 et 0 is gonna be a little less poke than what i had with 16x9 et 15 but with some crazy negative camber like i had for a little bit (dont do what i did, your tires will hate you) they will actually tuck in your fenders.

      but

            People hate them mostly because they're generic, cheap ass pos, multi-lugs. IMO they don't really go with an e30s styling. At all.

              Because they are cheap assed fugly cold cast pieces of shit and all the e30 noobs love them.

              Actually I'm mostly referring to the 002 and the 501 versions as they were the ones that were/are all the rage with the last crop of cheap assed e30 owners.

              Those two styles are hideous on an e30 and their exposed multi-lug fitment goes right into and over the face/style of the wheel.

              Pieces of shit period.

                    Don't listen to them. Get some cheap wide low offset wheels. Just make sure they aren't sportmax. I bought konig bbombs and I'm happy with them.

                      I have the 513's. I don't think they look too bad. I got them when i first got the car a year ago. I've had diamond racing wheels but i'm back on the sportmax cus they fit so nice on my car.

                      OP if you want them then get them, i'm happy with mine... but if i could go back i would probably choose a different wheel like the remembers or something. (only reason i'm still rocking the 513's is cus i'm waiting to find borbet B's = expensive.)
