If you ARE runnig 6UL 15x10 then this thread is for you

[Jean]

What size spacers are you guys running to clear the suspension front/rear?

I am going to cut my fenders, don't even care about that anymore, this is to fit 275/35s A6s on there.

Thanks

Are they ALL +25 with 6.45" backside?

[Jean]

Yes

what I would do if you're going to cut the fenders anway, just buy the wheels, and use some washers to figure out how much space you need. then order a spacer in the appropriate thickness. I would want to use the least amount neccesary.

I still love mine, the're 1st gen 15x7.5. only 11lbs and no issues with strength.. they're also super easy to clean. :)

[Jean]

Yep, that's one way to do this you are right.

I haven't seen any e30s running these wheels yet, but I guess not everyone has their pics up on the webz. :) 15x10 and 275 A6's sound fun!

Seems kind of easy to figure out if I'm picturing it correctly.
The +25 offset doesn't matter since you are going to trim the fenders, so;

6.4" backspace means 6.4 inches from the 6UL's hub to it's inner lip.
Get a ruler and put it on your car's front hub measuring inward. Does the 6.4" mark pass the strut/coilover-sleeve/spring? If so, you can figure out how to compensate on spacers.
I don't know how a 275/35 tire looks on a 10", but that obviously will play a roll for clearing your coil/sleeve too.

:p

I don't have a set of these, but I'm excited to see how this works out for you!

Not exactly what you asked for, but...

Yes, my concern is with clearing the inner fenders/body of the car. Currently with 15x8 and 225 v710s there is less than 1/4" of room between the tire and sway bar... I do have a used 275 that I'll mount for test fitting the wheel, hopefully won't be too difficult?

What are those wheels?

Me too!

Not sure, but he lists his offsets and spacer requirements for 15x10 with 275's

[Teaguer]

What are those wheels?

He's running custom sized Keizers.
They are posted in every 15x10 thread here! haha!

If you pull this off, you are my hero. Seriously.

I think 15x9s with 225 RS3s would be PERFECT for a street e30. I know chris325ix on the other board has some x7.5s, looks like Nando too...haven't seen any others.
