10j on e30 m3 cab rep? Hartge

[Rickz]

Hi guys,

I have a e30 m3 rep convertible that I will start doing work on.

It already has a 5 stud conversion and I'm thinking of going for the 3 Piece Hartge Rims.

Could I get away with 10x17 on the rear and 8.5x17 on the front?

Or would it be better to just go for 8.5 and 9.5

Will be going for gaz coilovers too if that makes any difference?

Just wanted to know about any fitment issues.

It all depend on the ET of the wheels.

You could try get your hands on a set of 17's and do some measurements with them on the car or put spacers on to get to the same width as the hartges you want. Or buy them and when you get them measure up and add wider dishes that will fit

do you realise how much and rare the hartge split rims are lol

[Jozi]

17s come up from time to time on ebay and getting dishes for them is easy if they need widening. 16s a much rarer ;)

Design E not design D, hence cheapness.

there the ones with a radiused outer are they barry ?

mine and design c

[bss325i]

Yes and flushed bolt heads.

My mistake, design D are mono block versions of design E.

What I meant were design not design C hence cheapness!

You could use 17x10 in the rear. You will have to buy a stretched tire.

On m3 I have Hartge front 17x7.5 rear 17x9.5. The rear tire size is 255-40-17. The front I am going go size larger 235-40-17.
