15x9 & 15x8 6UL for E30

[Mediumrarechicken]

Hate dragging up old threads, but anyone using the Spec E30 wheel that is 15x7 and what tire combo are you using? Wanted to see if anyone is doing this with no spacers also...

I'm running 205 50s dunlop star spec 2's, the front fit to the fender good, the back really could use a spacer. Then again if I could do it all over id run an 8 in front and 9 in the rear. Looking to get rid of them

Ooh, Jongbloeds would be cool. +20 would require quite a bit of spacer, though.

Not too bad. I’m guessing 12-15mm in the front and 8mm rear.
Basically getting it to the same offset as the 6UL. Fronts just need a little more spacer than rear for BBK

Direct from the source:
“We are fresh out. No ETA for the next batch at this time.

Cheers,
Dan“

I also contacted Jongbloed. They are planning to release a 4x100 15x9 +20 closer to the end of the year. I most likely will wait for those unless 949 magically does another run.

Dan at 949 says it's more like they're between production runs.

These will clear 300x22 BBK easily and probably the 300x32 as well.

FYI, these wheels are no longer for sale.
Out of stock, and no plan to restock. Too bad, i was really looking forward to ordering a set.

This is 15x9 et12 6UL wheels, Tungsten finish, with 225/45 Hankook RS4.

3mm spacers in the front give me 4mm of strut clearance.

GC coilovers.

Slight rubbing in the right-rear, which is weird because this car had 245s on 5 lug a few years ago and the fenders were rolled to fit. Resolved with a baseball bat adjustment of the inner fender lip.

Weight of the tire+wheel is 33.8lbs, exactly the same as before with the smaller 215's on 8 inch TRM C1's.

Tires seem fine so far.

Keep us posted.

I was going to lug my 16x9s back from Ireland next time I'm home, but these 15x9s are far more like the fitment/tire size I'm after.

Be sure to post photos once you've mounted them!

After talking to Dan at 949 I've ordered the 6UL in 15x9 et 12. My offset calculator shows that compared to the 8" TRM C1 et20 that I have now, I'll be 5mm tighter against the strut, currently at 4mm, so I will need a small 5mm spacer.

My clearance limitation now is the tire, not the rim.

It will be an 8.9" tire on a 9" rim, as pictured.

I'll be running these with a 225/45-15, probably the Hankook Ventus RS-4.

So I've been waiting for 949 to release their 15x8 6UL in Exocet and just found out that they won't be selling it.

I was planning on upgrading from my current 215's on TRM C1 8" rims to 225/45-15 on the 6UL 8"s.

Now I have several options:

225/45-15 on my TRM C1's.
225/45-15 (stretch) on the 6UL 9's
245/40-15 on the 6UL 9's.

I once had 5 lug on the car and the fenders are rolled for 245 rear and 235 front. The car is a mix of street and track HPDE.

I obviously want good performance but don't want to make it a pain to putz around in.

Opinions? The DirtyS54, please chime-in and update your experience....

I'd run the x8 6ul on the front, youd have to run a good amount of camber in the front to make a x9 fit.

DirtyS54 sold his E30 so he likely wont be around here much anymore.

How wide are the C1s?

These look great, maybe on my list for next year. If i pm out a template you think you could do me a solid and see the fitment behind the Massive 300x32? No rush.

for sure, just shoot it over to me in a email.
