Post your e30 with Rota Slipstreams here

I don't see exactly what's so appealing about these wheels? i'm not knocking them, but is there something that i'm missing?

They are light, offered in 8" wide, and directly fit the E30.

And they fit BBKs perfect and cheap...and 225/50s should fit perfect with on a 15.

.....I just cant see how et 20 on 8's would work w/ 225/50's. I run K1 w/ et 27 on 7/s w/ 225/50 and I am right uptomystruttubes...........? The 8 inch ers would be @ 12 mm closer to tube( @ 1/2")......figure in the et 20 vs et 27 and youd end up 5 mm closer to tube......I dont even have the 5 mm(1/5") room as it is. Maybe the RA1 's run wider than street 225's.

This is my concern as well. I just received my 15x8 et20 Slips and they're dang close to the strut tube. I should have 225 r-comps (though they're Advans, not RA-1) within the next week, so I'll post back up about any spacer needs. I'm sure alignment settings will affect this as well, though I don't plan to run crazy camber up front.

We are talking street tires here...

I still can t believe I cant gather TWO guys to buy the Rota RB's....like 535 shipped!!!!........and 14 lbs ish........where is every1?......JUST TWO GUYS>>>OR GIRLS!!!!.........we just need 3 sets total to get it done...... 15/7....et 25 ....57.1 cb.....direct kick ass fit...............

There was a GB on 2002faq.com and it was closed 6 weeks ago. I believe that some members of that board would still be interested in those wheels. They also fit perfectly the 2002s with Massive brake kit.

I didnt want to intrude......plus I think I would undersell the seller. Ill take a look.

do you need special nuts for these wheels?

They work. with 225 hoosiers they just kiss the strut tubes so I use a 3mm spacer. any street tire or RA1 would fit fine.

[speedblind]

Yup. My set on 225 Advan r-comps fits just fine.

all you guys running 225's on the 16x8's, are your fenders rolled? for those of you without rolled fenders, what size tire are you running?

[e34john]

225/45/16 falken 452s on a 60/40 kit, it has settled nicely after those pictures. I rolled my fenders a little but I don't think it would be absolutely necessary for a daily with a nice stiff suspension, my car rubs the inner fender a little if I have weight in it.

[henxdam]

where are you guys buying 15x8 slips?

the only places i look only have them in 5 lug.

i am also planning to run 225/50/15's .. are spacers needed?

[e34john]

the group buy through 18 racing was either 15 or 16s. try contacting them to see if you could get some.
