They are 17"

5 x 100

ET35

7.5" ON THE FRONT

8.0 ON THE REAR

Would these fit on a 318is with some 4x100 - 5x100 adaptors without any arch work and i am going to lower it on an MTech 2 kit? maybe 60/40 or 40/20. Im not too sure yet.

Or should I wait and find some 4x100 LM's?

Any advice would be great.

Depends on the size of the adaptors you are going to use?

Should fit ok with 15mm adaptors.

Yeah I'd either use 10 or 15mm adaptors.
I just read a very similar post asking nearly the same question.

Has anyone got any pictures of this set up?

That looks pretty sweet. Did you have to use any kind of spacers to get them to sit right in the arches. I notice a lot of these replica wheels are offered with a 35-38 offset.
What should the offset be for an E30??
