IMO, I think they sit well on 17x8s. NOTHING bigger.
There was a thread a while back where someone put 20s on I think, did arch work etc, looked awful.

I also think 18" it's a bit to much... You'll need low profile tyres 35 or 30 and unless you have a good suspension set-up you will feel every stone/hole from the road!
I had only 14",15" and 17"... And I've decide to stay with 17"...

if there wern't people like me,
with cars like mine,
who would you put down to make yourself feel better?

18x9 fronts, 17x6 rears is the perfect for a facelift sport.
Don't listen to this lot. They are all haterz.
Its about the look. Thats what's important.
Lower the biatch by at least 80mm too. Banging E30 FTW

I must say, I'm still swaying towards 15" BBS and 55 profile tyres myself, but I'm going to change out the rock hard front suspension first.

Lee, I actually giggled at those wheels... Way too beig for the E30...
15" is as bit as you need to go to be one of the coolest of kids. In the form of some bbs
Or you could be one of the elite cools and got for the 14" bottletop
Which I am really liking at the moment.

Is that rear camber a joke?

I'm after getting a 325i sport and were just wondering what the biggest wheels that can be fitted without having to do major arch work, would 18x8 or 17x8 fit ?
