nipe 1 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 0 offset means they will stick outside, so spacers wont save you unfortunately Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e30ftw 410 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 15x8 will fit fine without spacers, they won't stick out either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted January 16, 2013 With 15x8 you will need to roll the rear guards and possibly the front also. If the car is lowered you may need front camber plates and about -2.5 to -3 deg camber for the wheels to clear. FL E30 rear guards are of course a little lower than PFL ones. I still had to roll my PFL ones. This is my old car with 15x8 +0 wheels with 205/50/15 tyres. You could go stretch. But that's just weak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 Anotherquestion would you be able to fit 17x9 with 20p offset on a e30 i dont see that working once you get a tyre on there. 17s are huge for an E30 as it is without being 9" wide. the back might work, but the front is going to scrub etc more than likely. You will need to run both a thin tyre and a low profile, i just dont see it working. but i havent tried so i could be wrong?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not meaning to go off topic but I swear that is the car I currently own. If it is that brings the total bimmersport owners I am aware of with this car to 6 including myself.EDIT: Ok after some searching it definitely is the car I own haha.

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted August 10, 2013 BBS RC 17x8 with 17x9 slicks @ et38 ... HOWEVER .. I have z3 m-coupe trailing arms so this is how I can run e36/e46/e90 offeset wheels. Normally your looking at dropping 26mm off that for the rear so ET12 for 17x9 will work perfectly (including leaving 2-3mm so the wheel doesn't hit the trailing arm) I have rolled fenders .. but they're not obscene and dont stick out all botu and sh*t looking. Don't quote me on all of this ... you should do your own research as I'm only 100% sure for what works for my 5 lug setup. My front is e30 m3 and I have to run 15mm spacers for the front @ et 30 / 38 wheels. My BBS LMs are 18x8.5 @ et30 btw 9 inch is as wide as you can go in a standard e30. With guard roll and careful offset to avoid the inner wheel/trailing arm clash you might be able to get 9.5 in the rear. You can run 18x8.5 with 35% profile and 225 wide tires. and just kiss the inner guard when turning. To do 10s' in the rear you need to go outwards which mean flares. anything over 8.5 in the front and you need to modify the inner guards in two places. Doing more than 10 inch on an e30 is a waste of time as you over tyre the car for the softest compound available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cab 148 Report post Posted August 21, 2013 0 offset means they will stick outside, so spacers wont save you unfortunately 15x8 +0 is sweet, just slam it and stretch the tyres to make it look good. You wont even need to roll the guards. Anotherquestion would you be able to fit 17x9 with 20p offset on a e30 No. If you have a 9" wide wheel you cant have an offset higher than +15, it will hit the strut. If it was 17x8 it would fit.

E30320i 1 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Not much guys on here are a fan of my setup but ultiamtely it comes down to personal preference really, i like it so meh. I am running 205/45/r16s on a 9inch rim with a offset on +15 It has 5mm spacers all round to clear the front struts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
