Help with alloy et/sizes 16"

Post Thu Feb 05, 2015 8:05 am

Hi guys,

Abit stuck. Not sure what sizes/et is good for my tech1 e30 conv.

Seen some wheels on eBay I would like to buy (bbs reps). Please help confirming if they will fit without any mods

16" staggered. 8j et25 & 9j et20.

Please confirm what tyres I would need and also if I would need to spacer them.

Any pics with the same as above? Please post.

Any help would be much appreciated

I have 16's on my car

8j et24 with a 5mm spacer on the front 215 tyre(225 would be the correct size for a 16inch 8j wheel)
8j et24 225 tyre on rear no spacer

You would definitely need a spacer on the front may get away without on the rear's? a note my front wheels touch the arb on full lock

Thanks guys. Also what et should I be looking at when buying alloys? Is et20 and et25 ok?
