E30 Fitment woes :(

[e30freak]

if you went with 8 wide all around, the rear would need to have a lower offset to have the wheels sit the same. -12 in the rear would match well to 0 up front

But will the front wheels rub the fender if i have offset 0... I have't done any modifications to the absorbers and springs yet so far.. it's stock... I plan to lower it in future though... Or you think i should do the springs n absorbers first before i fit the wheels?

Thanks alot for your help Average_Jerk

your going to have to roll and pull the fenders a little. but becasue the fit isnt too aggressive, the mods wont be anything too drastic. are you planning on sectioning your front strut housings?

By sectioning you mean "Cut / Weld" the housings? Well if it is I don't think i'm planning to do that... Maybe just the lowering springs... Do you used to have the same set up as well? Mind to share some pics? it's hard to find offset rims around here so this is far the best i can find..

Another question, what tyre sizes is suitable ? I'm thinking of 205/45/15s ?

If you are looking to get low, E30 will take more work. you will need to shorten your front strut housing and use either G60 Corrado or IX front struts, because they are shorter. If you dont want to do that, i wouldnt expect more than a 2" lowering


I will be running air on my E30 personally

15x8 4.5BS +10mm spacer and 15x10 5.5BS 195/50 all around



4" BS on a 10" would be -38 offset, that would be very difficult to fit and would require ugly pulled fenders. A 4.5" BS on a 9" would be would be -12 offset and that would be kinda difficult to fit in the front, it would also require pulled fenders. It's doable but as I've been hinting at, it would probably look terrible.

What wheels are those?

i think those are diamond racing wheels, not sure which model

so that is the current fitment on this E30?
