Guys!
Hoping you can all help...
I'm looking for pictures of E30's running either 9J or 10J wheels?
I'm thinking of buying some split rims and wondering what they would look like.
Spec of the wheels are below:
9j x 17
ET 35
They got 1.5" lips that I may consider to change to 2.5" making the total wheel size 10jx17 (Rears).
Much appreciated!

You'll need spacers for those wheels.
Fitting 9j on the fronts need to be about ET15.

New to me too. Have absolutely 0 clue on which size to buy. 16" staggered is a must for me, but not sure what width at the back/ front. Has anybody experienced got some advice?

16" you can go to 9j rears between ET10-0 with stretched tyres.
Fronts, again 9J ET between 15-5 with stretched tyres.

You're a Hero.
You can do, but I would go with the lower ET if going with coilovers on the E30's.
It stops the wheel hitting the springs.

Anywhere between ET10-15.
But you may need to roll the rear arches.

No build thread I'm afraid, though its on the road it won't be finished until spring/summer 2014. I may just hash something together then.
