Wheels for E30

[Eff_One]

Hi all,

I need a wheel to use as a spare wheel for the E30, and was wondering what all would fit?

Doesn't have to be anything special, just a 4-stud to fit front or back. Steel or alloy is good, just something to throw in the boot if I get a puncture.

I'm finding old BMW wheels hard to come by, is it correct old Vauxhall/GM wheels fit?

Cheers

the gm wheels have a terrible offset and the centre bore is out by 0.5 mill,
look in the parts section, loads of single spare wheels for sale,
look in magpie's iS for breaking thread.

4 stud vauxhall and vw wheels should fit. the offset will usually be too high for an e30 which can mean they sit too close to the front struts, but if theyre narrow enough it shouldnt matter too much.

4 stud renault have the same pcd, but the centre hole is too big so they won't centralise properly. again, ok for temporary emergency use.

keep clear of anything ford / peugeot as theyre the wrong pcd, bmw mini and mg / rover wheels are the right pcd but the centre hole is too small so they won't bolt up to the hub.
