*****Wider Wheels?*****

Post Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:11 am

I have a e30 which I bought with a M3 kit already fitted. Obviously the arches are wider than a normal e30 and therefore normal 15" BBS donÃƒ”š't fill the arch width ways, they look set back in the car.

I donÃƒ”š't really want to use massive spacers if I can help it as people say they do damage to bearings etc.

However I am after advice on how to get wider wheels on the car, especially the rear. I like the idea of alloys with a deep dish, which means most of the width of the alloy is outward of the hub, meaning no rubbing on the inner arch.

Please could you help as offsets etc are a little confusing. I really want to be able to just purchase the alloys without needing to modify the arches etc.

Many thanks in advance.

16x9 borbets would be a good bet i think

I dont like the look of those though. But those sort of dimensions would be great as it would fill the arches.

Any other help anyone??
