Hi i can get bbs split rims which are 8 by 15 offset 13 or 7.5 by 15 offset 20. Was unsure if the 8 by wide offset would be ok for e30's - will it cause issues such as rubbing rear or front arches. All info welcome
Thanks
Maz

standard wheels i think are about 7.5 with a 30-35mm offset so i think the front arches would need some work for these wheels and tyre size anything from 205-225 depending on what look your after, i have 215 on 8inch and it looks stretched but not too extreme

hi everyone i am a new user and i wanted some advice regarding fitting 17 bbs split rims 8j all round 20 offset 74.0 bore, they are the deep dish ones you get on e39 5 series or the 850 csi. I want to fit them on a e30 m3 sport evo. Has anyone else fitted these on a e30 m3 ? Any pictures links would be nice, also what tyre sizes would be the best ?. I was thinking 225/45/17 front 245/40/17 rear or 215/45/17 front. Considering My car has got group N schnitzer suspension with bmw motorsport top mounts i dont want the ride to be too hard and ruine the awsome handling it already has. The car is on standard 16' bbs 7.5 nogaro silver centred wheels with 225/45/16 all round. Also wanted to colour the centres nogaro silver to retain the standard look. Any help advice asap would be deeply appriciated. Thanks all
