Thanks, I was more concerned about the offset than fit as most VAG use 4x100. Looking for circa 7 inch wide but rims which will not catch the suspension etc I dont mind doing some body mods. Thansk again.

I think some Mini's from 2000's had 16" steelies...

The fitment is 4x100, but as far as I remember, the centre bore is a bit smaller, so you'll have to widen it to fit an E30.

EDIT: Also Renault Megane had 4x100 16" steels, but the centre bore is 60.1, so you'll need hub rings to align them to your hub. I think the ET is 36 and 43, depending on year of production.

P.S. Why would you want 16 steels anyway? lolz

There's been few threads on this - new Mini wheels fit with spacers I believe - and I remember something about Renault wheels fitting???
Think there was talk of this when someone was finding steelies to have banded!!!

No just like the look of steel wheels on some old cars! Thanks will try our breakers to see what Mini or Megane wheels I can test.
