Very quick one, I own a 325i touring with the standard 15 inch bbs alloys currently fitted. I would like to know what offset range I can use when purchasing a new set of wheels.

I've been told it is between 15 and 25 but can somebody confirm this for me? I dnt want to do any arch work, neither do I want to have to fit wheel spacers to the car!

Any help much appreciated, matt

Original E30 15" wheels are ET24 which I think is a 7j rim,if you fit a 7j with an et or 15 it'll stick out slightly more and may rub if your lowered.

There's a great tyre/wheel size calculator which help you understand how the et works http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... calculator
