Whats the e30 offset?

[equate975]

I can't remember, was is 25mm?

[nando]

for what wheel? it's wheel width dependent.

14x6 bottlecaps: ET35
14x6.5 basketweaves: ET30
15x7 euroweaves: ET24
15x7 ix weaves: ET41

etc. etc...

The 15" Euroweaves have an offset of 24mm .

The bottlecaps are like 30mm ....or something like that .

[equate975]

Ah awesome thanks. Needed to double check if bottle caps would work on my mk3 without spacers.

Edit:

Also, I am pissed as hell. I found a guy selling some mint IX weaved with center caps and brand new blizzaks for $350. He just sold them right before I called.

[nando]

they will probably be fine. if anything you would have to worry about them rubbing the fenders, not hitting the struts.

Yeah, I am going with a 60/40 drop (putting it in tomorrow) and all my tires are shot, and I have a bent rim.

Found a yard with some bottle caps so I figured I would snag them.

Go for it, there's a red Mk3 Golf 4-door parked on the street down from my building with b-caps. looks kinda goofy, but they seem to fit ok.

Edited for wrong information due to my head being in my ass ... Not sure what I was thinking but obviously wasn't thinking .... MY BAD !!

IX hub centers are different than 325, 318 e30's.

IX are 73.1 mm and other non M e30's are 56.1 mm (I am not 100% on the #'s I just gave but fairly sure of them being close to those sizes)

So those IX wheels you just missed might have been a blessing as they might not have centered up for you on that MK3

huh?

pull your head out of your ass please. hub centers are all the same between 4 lug E30s. they are all 57.1mm (excep the M3 of course)

Head is out of my ass now ... Forget my previous statement but Sorry I do not know what I was thinking other than I have seen some wheels offered for IX fitment only, because of offset I guess, that were a 74.1 CB but obviously used centering rings that made them fit.

[nando]

that's because most people like to put FWD offset wheels on the ix, so you end up with typically honda hub sizes

didn't mean to sound that harsh, it just bugged me was all :p

It's cool ... It was obvious I wasn't thinking as I typed ... I edited my previous statement for wrong info ... carry on
