17" are mad on E30's, got any pics of the mags???

Whats the offest? if its 40mm the Trophies will not fit without spacers. They clear the strut but don't clear the front brake caliper. I know this becuase i test fitted some just a week ago.

offset is 7.5 (am pretty sure).But I think you're wrong about needing spacers

as the mags were purchased brand new from Mag and turbo and I

think those guys knew what they are on about when they told me

these are perfect fit for E30's as they don't stick out / no need for guard

rolling or spacers.

They also come with rings shaped to fit the little bubble sticking out on

the drum and make the mags sit properly on the car.

I tried unsucessfully fititng 17"'s on my e30 today. 4x100 stud pattern with offset 40.

Back fitment seemed ok, but it didnt seem right on the front, the caliper was touching also.

So yeah i had a similar experience? what did you end up doing?

7.5 is wrong - will need to run a big spacer to get offset to 35mm

Does anyone know for a fact what the correct offset for an e30 is? After my experience today, i can tell you that an offset of 40 isn't right.

I'm running 20 with 7.5's

EDITED: In fact, you cn see by my sig pic that with 205's they only just snuggle under the arches

I never got them, was going to be too much hassle. The proper offset is ET35 (thats what it says on my spare anyway). Some 17's will fit if they are ET40, I have also test fitted some advanti mikano's (I think thats what they were) and they fitted fine, it will just come down to the shape of the wheel as to whether they clear the caliper or not. Also you should be able to run 215/40/17, I wouldnt go 215/45 cos the tires are too big.

Also 17's look wicked but i would prefer to be driving on 16's. The ride is better, easier on suspension and its a bit easier to control when you slide. (I have been told this)
