Hi, I've got the standard E30 set up modelled in CAD and am looking at producing an easier 5 stud conversion using mostly E30 parts. For my own car it's easy as the 16" BBS I've got are the same offset as standard and I'm using 4 pot Brembo's off a 406 coupe so will make brackets to suit but I'm just wondering what sort of offset wheels people wish to run if I make a few sets?
Brake disc wise I'm buying 320mm discs (not sure what off yet) and will machine the middle out and make a bell.
I hope to produce a kit that caters for lots of wheel options
thanks
Tom

Cant help with the offset but pleased to see your doing this conversion, any pics to post?? Interesting stuff with the machining and the hardening process you have at your place!

A suggestion: et35-et47 would allow folk to use anything e36,e46 and e9x based wheel wise. Perhaps the most common options.

Thanks. That's the kind of info I'm after. Big offset though!
