Wheel query, please advise...

[oomz1975]

I have managed to get my hands on some 7x16"Azev a alloy wheels.

They have et40 stamped on them, these were fitted to a 1990 e30 316i with 40 profile tyres.

My touring is lowered 60mm all round.

Before I start ordering new 50 profile tyres & refurbing the rims I need to know whether they will fit.

I want these on in time for Santa pod

rear maybe front no unless you roll your arches mine cought the arch on 50s

if they dont and you wanna sell give me a shout may well be interested! please! mine are knackered

they'll probably go on ok, but you'll need spacers if you want to make them it properly.

you might even need spacers to stop them hitting the front strut / calliper anyway as e30s are designed for lower offset wheels.

15 or 20mm spacers all round imho.

Cheers for the replies.
Just done a test fit & yep they hit the front strut.
Can't be arsed with spacers etc, so they will be up for sale.

ET15-25 is what you need really.
15mm spacers would make them fit as already stated by Harry.
