    949 Racing 15X9 ET36 - Anybody using them?

    OK. I searched but didn't find anything specific to this wheel. Will this fit an E30? I am primarily concerned with the inside, there is plenty of room from wide fenders.

    Anyone?

    Much easier and not requiring large spacers, would be to look at the few Konig wheels that www.good-win-racing.com is now selling.

    The Konig FLatout is 15x8 ET25 or 20, 12.4lbs and 109 each.

      Except I'm trying to run 275/35/15 A6. 15X10 wheels seem to be expensive and only real option is Real Racing wheels. These would work for width and be ready to go, although it sounds like this wouldn't work either.

        You need a 10inch wheel for that tire. Look at my link in my sig. I bought some from spin werks. They were $1000 or soo

          Well, I talked to the guys at Hoosier and they are comfortable if I run a 9 inch wheel.

          So back on topic - has anybody tried these? If not, any other recommendations for a 15X9 wheel that doesn't require a spacer.

            Nothing exists for e30 in 15x9 or 15x10 size that does not require a spacer or adapters, unless you spend about 500+ per custom made wheel.

                Spin Werk. Custom wheels. My 15x10s were $1100 shipped. They will make you a 15x9. However this works but I recommend the 10 as it gets the sidewall straighter. A miata guy asked me once bought the 15x9 and ran them. He then a week later bough 10s

                  Thank you - $1100 isn't too bad, since these are almost $900 shipped.

                  Where did you buy them from if you don't mind me asking? What offset did you order? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to offsets, etc.

                    I have the 949 15x7.5s. really nice wheels for the price, and super light. Plus they don't look like everyone else's wheels.

                      whats wrong with a wheel spacer? makes stance look that much more proper. with 20mm's in my rear i stretched out my rear wheelbase by 2in. thats always good.....wait, 20mm's in my rear? what?
                      m20 is plenty. im simply a drifter.

                        I don't think somebody running a 275 hoosier is looking for "stance".

                          No, Imagine the stance will be pretty good already!
