I had 18s on my sport, cant remember the offset or even the tyre, I guesse I could have gone out into the garden to look, but I have the flue, anyway, I took them off to refurb them last summer and lost interest. I will sell them but can't take less than Ԛ£650 really bearing in mind these tyres...

I heard the motorised/flip out screens won't work very well in e30's which is why I havn't got one, quite fancied one a while back with sat nav but that's alot of money for something to take a risk on. Apparently the screen fauls on the indicator switch. Anyone had any experience with this?

Well I can't wait til my 9" with stretched tyres are on now. Looks like I'l be driving a little slower for a while, at least the girlfriend will be happy.

these wheels at some point were on a corrado, I thought they where exactly the same fitment as e30's. If mine were 7.5's up front, I wouldn't think twice and just use the spacers, but the 9's stick out slighly as it is amd I don't wan't to cause problems with MoT's etc.

After quite a bit of grinding it's only slightly touching now, but if I keep going I'm worried that part of the caliper is going to become too weak, so maybe I should bite the bullet and use my spacers, any suggestions where to get slighly longer bolts of good quality?

Daz, are they my wheels? well mine look like that now anyway. A picture paints....... you know. That is what I was trying to get at. Well done Daz.

Both front wheels yeah, backs seem absolutely fine obviously due to tiny calipers. I cannot say they are et15 though, would they be printed on the wheels somewhere?

Only thing I have done is grooved and drilled discs and pads, tar-ox I think. O) The O is the hub, The ) is the caliper. Right in the middle of the ) is where the fauling is going on. I hope that makes at least a bit of sense. If not, I'l try try and come up with some other silly way of explaining it.

I'm from Newbury Nav, bout 20 miles from slough.

No, but am now thing of taking it up in an attempt to maybe grow my head a bit too.

I can fit my head between the wheel and the arch, is my head too small?? try it and let me know!! at the point it's fauling, forgot to say it fauls only 1/4 of the wheel turning not all the way round, but I'm sure that's because it's not perfectly round at that point of the wheel, anyway at the poin...

I was thinking about getting some keskin kt1's but these came along and were my second choice. The guy that sold them to me said they came straight off an e30 and that they were et15. Alot of people say 9" is too much for the front but then alot of people seem to have fitted them, I'm very confused ...

Nav,

Yeah, every time I take more metal off the calliper and check it, i'm getting paint off the inside of the wheel, thats how I know which bit to grind off next lol. It is very close to the strut but I havn't managed to bolt it completely back yet so that might be a problem too.

Ben.

Hehe, yeah they were the old ford rs2000 alloys on a 309 GTI, we all go through these bad taste stages at some point, the important part is knowing they were not good ideas. Thanks for ya help Daz, it's much appreciated.

Ben.

That's what I think I'l have to do, I had a bad experience with spacers a few years back and like to avoid them when possable, they where like 50mm spacers. But really I would like to have them on there without them, especially as the fronts are 9" wide and already stick out a little without the spa...

I'm told they are et15, I mean the back ones look okay, and seem to fit right as far as I can make out, the 5mm spacers do the job but as I say the bolts are too short, I get about 3 or 4 turns on the bolts, I'm not risking it like that, and if they are likely to rub the arches then 5mm of more poki...

Hi All, I have been a member for a while now, but this is my first post, I usually just read. Anyway, had my 89' sport for a few years now and still love it as much as the day I bought it. Anyway, my problem...... I got some Borbet A's off a well know auction site (I'm not going to name drop) obviou...
