Can i fit a 7.5j wide wheel with the offset of 35 to the front of my e30?

Will it stick out loads or will it be sat further in the arch?

The outer edge will sit ~5mm further into the arch than a 7J ET24 BBS, & the inner edge will be ~17mm closer to the strut.

ahh ok, that will look silly then

You'll need to fit at least a 3mm spacer depending on tyre size

if the offset is 35, i could fit 10mm spacer then i would have 25 which is the correct offset for the front?

This is so stressfull i just want a set of wheels lol

i found a nice set of borbet a's in 15 inch, which would look pretty good, stagered fitment.

It would bring the wheel out more so got to be careful with which size spacer you use. I had 17" ET35 alloys on mine and just needed a 3mm spacer to clear the front struts.

Just be patient, the right set will come along, shame i've sold all my wheels

15" will need a serious drop, 16" look better

ive got 17"et37 on mine they dont rub but its very very close to the front struts drives fine tho

Thanks for the help guys, I think my car is lwoered about 80mm.

All in all 15 or 16 inch wheels not much differnt by the time got lower profile tyres on the 16 look about same aize as 15 with bigger tyres.

Decisions

Are the arches rolled?

well, i not sure if arches are rolled or not.

i have my eye on some borbet a's and the offset is 15. all 4 are 9'' inch wide.

i think i will need to roll arch on the back

Depends on how low you go?

I had 40mm on 9J rears with stretched tyres and it didn't rub

I think mine is 60 or 80 mm lowered on the back.

Get the arches rolled

Will look good with that drop

but when i put the drift wheels on it might look daft with arches rolled and no huge wheel lol hmmmm

hate cars lol

You won't notice it the rolled arch. Think you getting confused with flaring the arch.

Look inside the arch and you will see the lip that will get rolled and give you a couple of more mm space

ohhh yeah, sorry,

mine has been rolled then

thanks for your help matey, really appreciate it

No problem
