wheel fitment question

[manse73]

this had probably been asked a few times but do the new shape mini wheels fit an e30

all answers appreciated

the offset is wrond so you'd need spacers, and i believe the central hole on mini wheels is smaller than the e30s, so you'd either have to get it machined out, or use special spacers with e30 fit on the inside, and mini fit on the wheel side.

You'd need some centre-bore/hub centric spacers. Not much point in modifying the centrebore of the wheel when it's going to be so far away from the hub anyway

I looked into it when I first got mine as a mate had some MINI wheels in his garage and a chap would make the spacers up for me for about £25 a corner... can't remember who it was now though but it's something any machine shop could do.

bini wheels are definitely et in the 40s - i think et42, possibly higher. so a good chunk higher than the mid 20s of an e30.
