^ nice

Did you just slap some BMW stickers on the ESM caps or are those from weaves?

someone school me on offsets, and what works well with a stock e30 suspension

With caps

I dont think I'm gonna go with the staggered setup so I can rotate my tires normally.

Other than that how are the general quality of these wheels? BBS RS knockoffs right? But I've heard both good and bad things about them. Any insight? Are they really 3 piece or do they just look like it?

Some things you should know
The rims aren't perfect, but that's expected for the price.
widebodye30, an ESM sales representative on this forum, recommends tire sizes 205/45/16 and 215/40/16 for a staggered set up on an E30.
Staggered set up is big boss. NICE!

Honestly... that staggered tire setup is pretty dumb, imo. The difference between a 205 and a 215 is 10mm, that's 5mm on either side, not enough to compensate for the inch and a half difference in wheel widths. Plus, a 215/40 is shorter than a 205/45... If you're gonna bother with 9's in the back go to a 225/45 or something.

There's a full thread on ESMs, look in the members rides section.

Staggered; one is bigger then the other, for example 16x7.5 & 16x9 would be a staggered set up., needing a tire size of 205/45/16 for the (16x7.5) & 215/40/16 for the (16x9).
Hope that clears things up.

I bought a set of staggered 16" 002r GMs a few weeks ago.

My baby is currently undergoing maintenance, so she is on jack stands for the time being.
