I have been out of the e30 loop a fair while, so have forgotten the specs but had a few tourings over the past 15 years or so, all had 15"/16" wheels.

Just bought a 1993 Touring, but it has 17" Alpina reps which look silly in my opinion....

Can't afford 15" BBS at the mo so probably going to look for 14" BBS for now

Most "find your tyre size" type sites pick it up as an e36 due to the late registered date

Can anyone point me in the right direction please

I think standard tyre size for 14" BBS is 195/65/14 but stand to be corrected.
