Hello everyone,

Couple of questions regarding wheels...

Is the e30 fitment the same as mk2 golfs?? (read somewhere it is)

What is the largest size alloy/tyre you can fit in standard e30 wheel arch without any modifactions?

Reason I am asking as my dads mate has some pretty big alloys off a mk2 golf that I could prob use as a quick fix for my trashed alloys when some arsehole hit me then cleared off without stopping.

Cheers Dj

It's the same fitment, but not the same offset... if the wheels look really wide in the golf arches you may well find they're suitable, otherwise you'll need spacers... Find out what size / offset they are :thumb:

The stud pattern is the same 4x100. BMW offset is et25, i don't what the golfs are though.

I'm pretty sure you can get 18's on no probs
