Hi guys, I know the stud pattern is 4x100 but obviously off set for rear will be different from FWD. Do other BM alloys fit, say E34, E36 etc? Or other makes of car?

Thanks

E34/36's are 5 stud, so no. Some other companies will have the 4x100, but if not for e30's the offset and center bore size will be different, depending on the offset, spacing plates can compensate for that.

Some good info in the link below, helps take the mystery out of wheel fitment.

And bmw wheel/model spec's, is accurate as far as I know, cheers.

Apart from the fact that it makes no mention of probably the most common OE wheel fitted to E30s these days - the 15 x 7 'BBS'.

There are certain VW wheels that fit an E30, IIRC.
