petone 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 offset you need depends on width of wheel. assuming you getting 7" wide wheels ET25 is the go. the wider you go the more critical the correct offset is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nz320i 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 then what does offset of 40 mean, wider track?? i thought e30 came with standard 35mm offset, my wheels are 40.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 offset is the distance between the mounting surface and the CENTER of the rim. As you get wider rims less offset is needed. with 7" rims ET40 is pretty much the max you can go. I doubt you'd even fit those if you have the bigger 51mm struts. The bigger the offset offset there is the closer the wheel will sit in to the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
