hi i just got a set of 17 inch bbs rk wheels. i havent picked them up but the guy says they are 40 offset. the ad said they were to fit an e30 so i thaught theyd be 25 or so.

will they fit ? do i need spacers? is it worth the $450 AU im going to pay for them if they need wheel spacers?

they should look sweet as from what i have seen please give me good news.

oh and what size tyres can i fit under e30 arches.

if anyone can help me id really appreciate it thanks heaps in advance.

Depends on the width, but you're going to need a 15mm spacer or larger. Standard offset is ET24.

What ste said; depends on the width.

7" width equates to ET24 on the E30.
6.5" = ET30
Hartges in 7.5" width run OK at ET25
