JiB 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2009 Depends whether you want performance or look bias. I run a 16x7 13p front, 16x8 18p rear on a PFL. These should clear with less camber as well. If I were going for a look bias, I'd run 16x8 11p fronts and 16x9 16p rears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_BRS_ 208 Report post Posted August 13, 2009 Don't know the offsets too well... but Go and see your nearest Mag and Tire Direct, as they are a forum sponsor and have a range of wheels that fit e30s well, thanks to Johno (zenetti) for importing them.

Mike 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) offset depends on widths, not diameter. generally look for around et25 to et15. much more than 25 will look silly as wheels will sit in too far. (as most 17x7 mags are). I really doubt you'll find something you like (that will fit properly in the standard range of mags, Mag and Tire Direct have a few styles designed to fit the E30, but most are around the 15 or 16 size (which most people prefer to run on e30's) Edited August 13, 2009 by Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you have a kit, because wheels bigger than 16" look a bit silly otherwise. imho of course. offset depends on widths, not diameter. generally look for around et25 to et15. much more than 25 will look silly as wheels will sit in too far.

Need to be wider imho, but meh. Edited August 13, 2009 by JiB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
