1 Loe Vrt

I liked the 17" you had. But again, i can see why you hate adapters.
Going with higher offest wheels with no adapters/spacers (ET45 range or so) can accommodate wider lips. That is what you should do. Deep dish goes really well on E30 verts.

thank you sir, i will do whatever i can to get my hands on rear dish... and not 7" of it

Just a question, what's so bad about adapters? I've run spacers but never adapters.

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

honestly it just gets tiring, by all means dont let it be the reason you dont buy your dream setup, i just got tired of undoing extra bolts just to put a spare on.. and then the allen keys strip ughhh.. i just had to deal with one today and im just about saturated

[Vivek]

Oh okay. I thought there was a like driveability issue or something, but at the same time I couldn't think of anything that it could be. it could definitely be annoying to have to unbolt another thing to get the rotors off and such or swap wheels. But I don't think they made 4x100 17" A's, did they?

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

they did in 17x7.5. theres one set up im trying to pick up, but the seller isnt returning my emails.. thats why i want to pick them up and widen them.. moar betters

[Vivek]

Hmm what all is involved in widening wheels? I'll be picking up 17x7.5...but I'll be lucky if I can afford tires for them after I spend all this money on suspension.

I`ve gotten a few offers to trade some of my wheels for type As. The problem with 12 wheels is not fender figment. Assuming your not going for a 0 offset but the tire selection. With a wheel that wide you pretty much have to run a 275/40 which is way to tall for an e30. With a 10.5 or 11 you can stretch a 255/40 which is much cheaper and not so tall.


and for those of you with pipe dreams and pocket lint its $5-600 to widen two lips.

well ive been building the motor for a few weeks (2.5 months) so it hasnt been on the road, but im mostly on the other side of the valley so i dont blame you. and i go to pierce full time so between that and work in LA im a unicorn for other valley e30 drivers.. ;)

These are the final options, now that the ballpark idea has been established

Some advice from you enthusiasts
Take a pick

Those red borbets could be cool....

[Vivek]

That really all depends on your budget. 1k or 2k? If you save money on the wheels, where else would it go?

Overall the red A's are by far my favorite.
