hi noob here (pic request keskin kt1's)

[Robbs]

hi, just registered on the forum as im very soon going to be selling my 200sx to buy another e30 (325i) i've owned 2 e30's before and really want another one, got some plans for it already!!! its gonna be drifty spec and i'll be buying quite a few bits for it pretty much as soon as i've bought one, i cant wait .

ive already decided on wheels (keskin kt1's) and would like to see some pics of them on an e30( i did a search and found a few but no decent pics), prefably 9x16 et15 all round as i want to see how they sit and if they stick out enough for me also what suspension is the best to go for without being silly money i was thinking spax psx (i think).

thanks people

yep they're the ones, did find them pics when i searched but not all of them work, would be nice to know if they're et15 or not as i imagined they'd sit further out than that oh well there's always spacers .

cheers for the welcome

[Pal318is]

Not sure sure what the et on them is, but they do look the nuts

Here you go fella, can't remember the offset as I don't have them on the car any more but they definately need archwork on the rear.

No comments about the church please you lot

hi mate, the above car was mine.

the et on them wheels was et15 (9" wide) and i had no probs at all. it depends how low your car is. mine was 35mm all round. i only had rubbing when i had 2 passengers in the back and was cornering. but the lip of my arch was slightly rolled.

the 9" wheel with et15 wont work on the front tho you will need spacers or an offset of et10, but the wheels dont come in that offset. i had 7.5" wheels with et 20, but i would definately go 9" all round. i regretted it big time

no. no. i meant the link mate

[nav786]

you wont need spacers on the rear, all they will do is make the rubbing worse

[Robbs]

nah i would like them to sit slightly further out than they do on your car i'lljust have to do some arch work

Are you kidding. Listen to someone who knows, there's not a hope in hell that they'll sit out any further than that because of the way the inner arches are built. I had my arches cut right back inside and extended an inch (which is the max) outwards and they still scuffed slightly on occasion. You will never get tehm sitting further out than that!

AGREED! another 15mm is too much, plus i just dont like the thought of spacers
