E30's running 16" BBS RS rims....

[330-singh]

Wanting to know if anyone who has them
On their pride and joy? What widths/offsets are you running?

Pics would be good too!

I'm on the hunt for the ultimate OE rim for my 325.

Thanks

In addition to this, can anyone tell me their experience of running 16" wheels with an approximate drop of 60mm Fronts and 40mm rears - does the car rub all over bumps and bad camber roads??

Dude shouldn't do, although will all be dependant on the tyre size, if you are thinking of doing this to that calypso motorsport, DON'T. That car is perfect as it is and the nogaro motorsport wheels are perfect for it. It would be sacrilege to do anything to that car.

the rs wheels will only improve drivability and looks, the best wheels ever. If u was to put replicas would make it look cheap but original rs are the only way to go if you have a nice e30. I have some pics of 16 inch,will upload later

if you are concerned about rubbing, tyre size and offset are the things to be wary of.. there are plenty of wheels with the wrong offset but right stud pattern and centre-bore being touted as 'correct fitment for the E30' its balls..

your offset on a set of 16x8's should be ET20, 16x9's should be ET15 or you risk scrubbing the shock...

I wouldn't go for reps no way! I'll look fwd to some pics, much appreciated!
What tyre sizes are you running for the best ride and no silly stretch. What's the widths and offsets on yours too? Thanks.

Thanks all for the input so far. I would o ly do subtle enhancements to my motorsport that wouldn't jeopardise it's overall originality and it would all be reversible withe ease.

The RS's are fine, its the 60/40 drop that will ruin that cabrio.

That looks perfect.

I am starting to agree with that statement now after seeing cars with 30mm and 40mm drops so rest assured I won't be lowering it much more than standard height if at all.

Thanks for all the pics too.
