They will more than likely hit the inside struts on the front and most definitely hit on full lock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted November 28, 2007 35 offset, 7" wide hits the front struts without spacers. so you will need spacers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it thats with the bigger 51mm struts? just curious cos I'm pretty sure 17x7 ET38 will just clear the 45mm struts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbirgel 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2007 when i first was buying wheels i tryd to put on a wheel with a ET 38. the spokes hit the break caliper and it needed 6mm spacer. even with the 6mm spacer on full lock the wheels were hitting my sump guard. better get a wheel with the right offset!!!

FYI: Ideal offset for a 7" wheel on an e30 is between 20 and 25, with factory size being 25 of the weaves. 30mm will probably work in most cases but wont look as good as it will sit inside the guards a bit. Spacers: For those who dont know how the offsets work spacers will reduce the offset. Ie, if you have an ET38 wheel I would use a 15mm spacer to bring it down to ET23. Even better is to get the right offset wheels than f**k around with spacers and the dramas that go with with. Edited November 29, 2007 by Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
