        Yea I originally wanted esm 002, but ended up searching and searching and couldn't find another e30 with these wheels color and size. I went with 16x8 16x9 staggered setup. Gonna run 195/45 up front and 215/40 in the back for a very mild stretch.

                Not true. I've got 15mm adapters (4x100-4x114.3) from these guys...http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_adapters.html

                Super tough and built to your specs. Use the drop down menus to spec your adapters and order or give them a call and talk it out with a representative (usually the owner). They're great to talk to and know the E30 chassis well.

                  18mm is as thin as you can get for 5x120 because of the overlapping pattern.

                          Just mounted mine in silver today. You will need to take a little off the front calipers since they rub. Backs will be fine.

                            That's good to know. Got any pics of yours mounted? Did you go with a staggered setup?
