I'm probably gonna go grab a set of E21 stocks today, and I'm pretty sure they'll fit my car, just wanna double check. Anyone know of any issues with this?

anywhoo... it depends on the wheels...most are not a direct swap...they can use our tires but we need spacers when we use theirs.

other way around... the e21 rims have an offset that's too LOW, so if THEY are the ones that need to use spacers if they wanna use OUR rimsOriginally posted by e9nine

yeah e21 rims vary between a 13 to 18 offset :( (might need to roll or flare the fenders.....i know the 2002 people who use e21 rims have to flare their fenders)
and yeah the stock 13" e21 rims barely fit over the e21 front calipers (w/ 10.0" disc brakes)...so i doubt they would fit around the e30's slightly larger front brakes.Comment

But yes, to answer the question at hand here (supporting jbob), stock e21 wheels will NOT fit an e30. I've got a set of 15x7 et 12 wheels on my e21 right now that wouldn't clear the e30 suspension pieces. And once I get the 5 lug swap done to the 318 I'll be using the stock 14x6.5 (et30?) baskets from the 318 on the e21 with some spacers.SOMEBODY messed with my sig so now you get this one:
