10.5s on E30 what offset?

[swedishsled]

ok so i'm picking up an e30 in a few days and already have wheels and ground-controls lined up for it. The wheels are widened steelies 16x8.5fr et40ish (mk4 fitment 5x100) and 16x10.5r et40ish? too make the setup work does anybody have an idea what offset and how big of adapters I should get? Thinking I'm gonna need like a offset of +5 front and negative something rear....my guess.

you can probably get widened steelies in your fitment for what adapters will cost.

I wouldnt buy those wheels. youre gonna need HUGE adapters. not worth it for steelies

30/30 or 30/20 would be fine. Your fenders on the other hand...

Rieger widebody

You could have DR steelies make 4x100 16x8/10 staggered steelies for a little more than the cost of adapters alone. I'd go that route

i'm getting the steelies for practically free so I figured the least I could do is give it a shot.I own a fender roller so messing with the fenders wont be a problem. This wide of wheel isnt what I planned for honestly. Diamond racing was a no go for anything wider than 8" and all I really wanted was 9s they said 8 is the widest they basically told me to go F myself and said it would also take 4-6 weeks.

Sell them to someone stupid. Buy the wheels you want. Done deal.

E30s should not be subjected to fender abuse! Save that for the S13s.

Yeah, Diamond has been getting weird about doing wide stuff. They wouldn't even do 17s for my S13 because they said they'd be too heavy. Straight refused to even give me the weights too... I'm starting to wonder if they might not want to mess with stanced cars. They might want to just stick to stock cars.

That's the best route for sure.
