spacers...

[bataangpinoy]

i have an e30, running 15 inch bbs rz, et-24, aka euroweaves. can someon help me with my measuremants to make em flush?

15x?...need to know

[bataangpinoy]

oops, 15x7. forgot to type that....

20mm would be pretty agressive, but might work out for you if your tires arent big

[bataangpinoy]

tires are 195/55. thats a larger sidewall and slight stretch. i was thinking like 5mm up front and 10 mm in the rear. but that requires rolling my the fenders. i dont know how to...

[Stephen]

5 and 10 wont be flush but theyll look good

[SeanDub]

-24? jesus.

[bataangpinoy]

its actually plus 24. the - is merely a hypen lol

[SeanDub]

This makes much more sense lol

I think 7" wide ET-24 would actually fit an E30, since my friend runs 16x9" ET0 in the rear. It would look silly, however.

[bataangpinoy]

hahah i bet it would...

i still want to make these flush

[Digitalwave]

Well his 16x9's are flush so maybe you need 40mm spacers?

[bataangpinoy]

well kamotors on e30tech runs 20mm all around on his bottlecaps(flush). those are like et 30.

he said he could go another 5 mm in the back.

so i need 10 mm up front and 15 in the back?

i see it as this. et30-20mm=et10

et30-et24= 6mm

so to get to et10 on my euro weaves, i need to get 14 mm spacers. they dont make those, so should i run 10mm spacers? my math is prolly fuxxored

[Digitalwave]

Bottlecaps are ET35. So with 20mm spacers = ET15. However, bottlecaps are 6" wide and 6" ET15 is NO WHERE even CLOSE to being flush on an E30.

[Digitalwave]

Here is an example for you. This is 16x9" ET0 on an E30 with stock fenders. It's flush or slightly poked. The equivalent with a 7" wide wheel is ET-25! As in negative offset. You would need 44mm spacers to match his flushness.
