    16 front 17 rear

    Anyone have pictures of an e30 preferably an early model with a staggered 16" rim in the front and 17" rim in the rear...

    was thinking of doing
    16x9 et 20 in the front and
    17x10 et 15 in the rear...

    ???

      17's all around is way better....might create to much rake. also will have oilpan clearance problems

              Different wheels but still what you're looking for.




              Don't do it, it looks like crap on e30's. We have even sized fender arches, unlike Corvettes, NSX's, etc that do this regulaly.

                Thanks for the pics guys..

                I'm still kind if unsure about what to do.. It still bothers me that with 17s all around on a early model, it still looks like it's a but bigger in the front. Maybe I'll stick with 17s.

                      do 16s all around...

                      double stagger looks weird on e30s.
