E28 fitment questions - how ridiculous?

[papercutout]

So I've got an E28 with an M50 dropped in (much fun!) but I'm trying to get a nice wheel setup atm, but to be able to use the car too. I've done the reallly stanced thing, and I want to be able to get out there and drift this year.

The wheels in question are Dodge Calibre steels. Boring huh? Not when they're banded! The fronts are 9J ET6 and the rears are 9.5J ET0, tyres are 205/40's and 225/45's.

BUT the wheels are 5x114.3, and the BMW is obviously 5x120. So looking at PCD adaptors, but that is another 15mm, giving me a fitment of 9J ET-9 and 9.5J ET-15. Hmmm, will they fit?

What do you all think? Can it be done? Would it be totally stupid? What is good width/offset normally on an E28?


I'm getting fed up looking for nice wheels cheap, so might just get some 16" VW van steels and get them banded.

The steels on my RX7:

E24s are pretty much same as E28s, my Style 32s are rocking some beefy tyres but are 8J ET2 and 8.5J ET-4, I'd say you'd be struggling without mashing the arches out a bit.

I heard you'd got that! Hell of a change from the E46, what do you think?

I'm happy to pull the arches, the question is how much would they need to be pulled? Stupid (and thus pointless) or doable?

I duno man, looking at this, it looks quite doable on the rear,

Front will be fine. Rears might fit if you want to roll the shit out of your fenders.

9J ET-6 will really fit absolutely fine? Really? Wow!

I should just remove them from the rex and see how they look.

What's 'really stanced'? If you mean low with good wheel fitment why do you need help with fitment?

I have tried buy forzest before and must say that cialis causes less side effects though. I had terrible headache with Viagra which made sex impossible sometimes. With cialis I forgot about it. I would recommend it to anybody who has similar problems and this drug is above all praises.”
