Does anyone know what the maximum offset is for aftermarket wheels being fitted to an E30 without using spacers?

Thanks

Offset means nothing without knowing the width. It will also depend entirely on the tyres you use and how much you stretch them whether it will rub something.

Is it FL or chromie? arches are (and clearance) different on them, have you rolled the arches?

You are better off looking at what you have, putting the measurements in www.willtheyfit.com with the ones you want and putting a tape on the wheels you have.
