Hi guys iv used the search function and read loads of threads on wheel size but every one seems to have a different opinion on what wheels size and off set will work iv also checked the wiki wheel section but they is no definitive answer and my head is melting.

So im looking to buy a set of Dare DR-RS, basically BBS RS reps from LK performance for my 1993 e30 convertible its lowered 40mm.

iv entered my car details in the drop down menu its has a few different size options i fancy the staggered set up.
Front 16 x 8.0" et 20.00
Rear 16 x 9.0" et 15.00

will they fit ok i dont want to roll my arches or mess around with spaces.

they are only £347 they seem really cheap has anyone got them or know what the quality is like on them

cheers guys

Yes they will fit. For replicas they are reasonably durable if you look after them well. Personally though I would get something like the Ronal ls wheels. They are period wheels fit perfectly and are reasonably lightweight and much stronger than reps. I have these on my car and only other wheels I would change them for are borbet bps.

Theres a set on ebay for 400. See link below.

So i should be able to put there dare bbs reps on with no problems at all with rubbing as the back ones are 9" wide.
