    New Rims!!

    Looks like im going to be getting a great deal on a set of BBS RG-R' and I have a choice of what size to get. I think i will go with a staggered set up but let hear what you guys think. I was thinking 17 x 7.5 but still not sure.

    staggered ...

      I would not get staggered wheels. E30's handle so much better on equal-width rims, front and rear. If you really need a stagger, then stagger the tire sizes. I'm telling you - equal-width all the way around is the way to go, especially if you aren't adding any camber up front.

      By the way - where are you getting the deal on the RGR's from? I want some too.

        Staggered wheels on a street car = Understeer like a motherfucker.

        Use the same size front and back. There's no reason to go staggered.

          14 x 6 et 35 is best

            Yea it looks like I will go with equal width. I have a buddy in the wheel industry and it looks like i will get them for around $270 a wheel. I think thats a hell of a deal for a hell of wheel.

              I love the staggered fitment on my E46. BUT, you go thru tyres faster because you can't rotate. But what the hell, it looks great! Nice looking BBS rims.

                Any way he could do that for the rest of us? I would love a set.

                  I wish. I'll let you know if something like that does happen.

                              Unless you are putting down massive power (275+) then you are a complete poser running a staggered set up, and your car will handle like shit...
