how much trouble am i gona have to get 18s on my e30

loads!!

maybe 17s slammed on coilovers then

Shouldn't have too many problem's. You need to make the sure offset of the wheels is correct and the alloys have the correct tyre size fitted.

Also, is your car lowered? If it's lowered more than 40mm you'll have rubbing issues

adjustable coils. gona b going in bodyshop for respray so maybe roll arches at same time. then will the 18s fit ok with correct offset.

Yes they should do, 20" alloys have been fitted before

18s will fit, which ones you got in mind? i was going to put 18's on mine. there's a zoner with 19s ithink called player, the car was featured in a mag.

18's definately fit mate... i had 18"Azev A's on my cabby with std height springs !!!

any pics blingsta?

will post up later mate, im at work at the mo... finish at 7am !

i got these for sale and am open to offers, 18's will fit no problem

.. straight swop for 17" Azevs ?

Those 18" won't be a direct fit, will need spacers as well as the centre machined to the correct size

well imy thats the individual persons choice. just like your kerchers a golf fitment. all you need is hubcentric spacers

Just giving useful info on them, my kerscher's fit fine, no spacers needed

I have 17s for sale if interested - dtm style

no,your mini ones will need the center bore well and truly machined as if you look at the center the mini is way too small and would need to be machined ,if it was bigger then a different ball game ,sorry to correct you

17" or even 16" low and wide

1mm? not really that much machining imho. as for the offset. . . nothing a set of hub centric spacers couldnt sort out

hmmm then this website has the wrong details on the e30 as it says 72.6 bore as do other sites

Agreed, in my opinion anything over 16s look silly on an E30, unless your car warrants having huge brakes.

16" on a E30 is the best size IMO, i had 17" but the 16" are much better

I agree...

Aside from the looks, they handle like muck with 17's also. 15's or 16's are the best imo.

Had 17's before, fitted 14's and it felt like a new car. Will never go 17's again.
