    The e34 offset is the same as e30 M3s...~19mm

    Just ordered my M-parallel replicas for my non-existant e34 (same ones as 325Projectz')

      Thad, how about I trade my car for your E34 and then you sell my car to buy the M3 :) Phew.

          Ben, I sold the car about a week ago to some guy from Canada. All I have left is the wheels.

          Thad, pm sent.

          Fuzz, pm sent.

          Mike, that would be my first choice too! :up:

          Matt, I feel really bad about backing out on Jarvis...

            Many people run e34 wheels on e30s. The only difference is the hub center bore and offset at times depending on the wheel design. You need a pair of hub centering rings to fix wheel shimmy. You fix the offset issue with either a spacer or machine down your anti-rattle clips.

            Take a look at the numerous number of e30s on M-parallels, Style 5s, M-system wheels, etc.

              Bob I'm glad your keeping the White car. White e30s are so pretty.

              I want to see M-parallels on a non-M car. that would be sick.

                  Thanks man, as I mentioned above, I feel terrible for backing out but I feel like I just didnt have any option...:( Jarvis is a good guy and he was exactly the type of enthusiast I was hoping would buy the car...

                    Your thinking of E39 wheels, the center bore on the E34 and E30 M3 are the same and the offset is only slightly off but no biggy. The real issue is the size of the tires.

                    No matter how many times I see an E30 M3 with M parallels I still do a double-take. Those rims are awesome, especially 18x8.5's.

                      OMFG! Those rims are the aboslute sweetest things under an wheel arch I have seen.

                        Bob, I'm going to talk things over with my wife tonight. I'll let you know something tomorrow.
