forgive me im euro

has anyone put/scene an e30 on bentley wheels. curious to see the result, if possible, obviously very minor lowering and possibly some extreme arch rolling would need done. it can look amasing on the new shape VWs and wondered if it had been done on e30s. iv checked google and none came up but, you never know. i ask out of pure curiosity

I'm sorry i can't forgive any of this^

Riding on 20's is never going to be "Fun" on an E30, there was a thread with someone who did loads of "mods" on his white one to acommodate 20's

That ended well

[verde]

some of them come in 17s/18s? surely those would fit without too much trouble. the amount of snobbishness on this forum is unbelievable. im puttin 16 inch 9j borbets on mine its not as if im intending to do this i just wondered

[Jim320i]

Rav, Dezzy - You snobby cooonts.

[Ajsingh]

Its not really "snobishness"

Why would u want bentley wheels on an E30? The wheels are probably worth more than the car they would go on and the plain fact that they are supposed to fit a bentley

[verde]

diable. your right man i dunno how people afford it, brand new jettas on airbags and 19s. ones for the borbets will be fine. will be fairly stretched which helps cost

[Ajsingh]

Theres better ways to burn money

Petrol + lighter = job done

it would possibly look pretty innovative look at this

It's not snobbery, it's a case of helping you.
You asked the question, we answered it.

Get a pic of the bentley wheel up, and i'm sure one of the photoshop gurus will put them up on your car for you.

[Jhonno]

It'll look shit and drive shit. Sounds like a winner

Ah, "VWVortex".
If you look at "The Rides" on that site, they are all more rounded cars, and the wheels look OK.
But those wheels will not favour the E30.

[verde]

rav335uk thats a good idea. its just a curious ponder dont want someone to waste effort on it. perhaps for other things im doing to my car at a later date.

i just meant looks wise aswell, these cars are show cars or already have large diameter wheels

[Rav335uk]

If you want to go "Euro" on the E30, 15" is what you want.

confused about the drop though? how much would i drop it, bearing in mind im in scotland ( horrid roads ) i think 60/40 on borbet As will do nicely?

[Dezzy]

Some of us like to drive our cars. My chromie is highly modified. There are lots of purists who would hate what i've done to my chariot.

You've been given sound advise, if you choose to dismiss it as snobbery then crack on and keep us posted yeh?!

Its a dead original idea too isnt it, Your defos daring to be different

[Rav335uk]

Euro Look.

for fucks sake. i told u all several times I AM NOT PUTTING BENTLEY WHEELS ON MY CAR

im putting on borbets. i was watching a wagenwerks video and wondered what itd be like to see em on an e30. im taking my car round the nurburgring, do u honestly think id stick it on 19s and hope to gain handling from it.

as for the teal car its one iv seen around the web and admire greatly. i presume its on 15s? does anyone know the drop and wheel size as this is what i would realistically like to acheive

[suchy]

Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be.

[suchy]

Euro executed carefully and properly looks good. The VW's didn't.

FFS relax, people are only trying to help.

What width Borbets will you be fitting?

[Rav335uk]

That i believe is on 17's

[D7UGE]

My mate has his A4 avant on Bentley wheels...... they look shit.

On an E30..... they'd look worse! (and be un-driveable).



60/40 on Borbets , now ya talkin. (I'm biased , thats how I roll). lol

sorry guys just seems u didnt get my drift. 9 j borbets in 16 i believe. is the 60 mm on the back too much of a drop?

[deanocool]

bentley ful faced wheel is a great wheel.... but only on a bentley imo. be intresting to see an e30 on them though just to see how the hell theyd go on.....

which brings to mind...... wheres stevie when you need him??? we have a new project for him.... e30 bentley impreza hybrid beast

this guys got the idea. would be very interesting to see. there was one i saw on wide spoked bentley wheels il upload but thats it

[deanocool]

im open to any mods people pull off whether if its a shambles, to get laughs or whatever. we all know 30s dont look right on anything other than deep dish rims, i have a set of 16x9jjs on mine, but its always interesting to see someone go outside the norm and do something whacky to their car even if it does end up a rocky horror picture show

60mm sounds like you need a few spare sumps, regardless of what wheels your running.

[Blitz]

Everyone knows those Bentley wheels are all stolen.

[D7UGE]

Yes 60mm on rear is too much , you will get arch rub with the 9j Borbets.

[deanocool]

i adjusted mine 60mm on the front and 90mm on the back with some custom springs i have for a laugh the other day. sits flat, looks crazy and would be totally undrivable unless you have no exhaust or floor. stuck it back in the garage unadjusted as its still got work need doing on it. its back out sunday to adjust properly as ive just fitted them at their lowest for now, and i got stuck driving up a 3deg incline into the garage. ill post up some pics up when i get time youll laugh your ar5e off at the councilness

[verde]

haha thanks deano look forward to it. would 60 mm on the back not even work with some serious arch rolling? how bout 60/60 on 15s? i want no arch gap but i dont want it properly undriveable

[BATTS91]

60mm will be fine fella just depends on how good you can roll an arch i can just about fit a pack of 20 cigs on there side under my chassis and front can and will be going lower with a bit of modding to the inner arch using specialist tools (big hammer) to stop rubbing on lock when sideways aslong as she looks original as poss on outside bodywork im not fussed ill get sum pics up tomoz and show how low
