Quick wheel question....

[clipper]

Hi, a quick question..

I'm missing a wheel and was looking for an identical replacement but I've found a pair, same style and make and diameter and width but I think the offsets are different. Mine have a reference of 6J14H2E33, the ones I've found on offer are 6J14H2E22.

Assuming that this is the offset, does this mean that the wheels on offer will stick out 11mm further than mine ?

I wouldn't mind that (I'd fit them on the rear for aesthetic reasons) but can anyone tell me if I'm likely to have clearance problems in the rear arches (for foreign MOT purposes I have to use 195/65 R14 tyres) and will I ever be able to get the wheel alignment done ?

I'm afraid it looks like no-one has done this, so we can't help - you are correct it should stick out 11mm further, but whether it fouls the arch is anyones guess; you'll have to decide on how cheap they are, vs the risk!

If they're only 6j wide then I doubt 11mm would make any difference to the clearing. 15 inch bbs are 7j wide with et 24 or 25 so thats 2mm less offset but they stick out an extra half inch with no problems-go for it.

Thanks a lot for the response guys, I've tried other E30 sites and your answers are the most honest and concise I've had back, they're cheap (15 quid for 3) so I think I'll go for it.

try it and if you get any rubbing then its no big loss.
