[brutus87]

I know this is a huge bump, but better than creating a new thread.
Ive been thinking about getting some of these wheels on my silver E30.
Thanks!

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?

18 racing's the only place I know of that carries them.

And no, you shouldn't need spacers.

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

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.

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?

[speedblind]

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

.....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.

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.

[e30love]

do you need special nuts for these wheels?

[JRKOUPE]

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.
