Which wheels

[vanos]

Putting a 5 stud set up on my touring, want to keep the wheels BMW and wondered if anybody had any knowledge of 5 stud wheel fitment to a E30.

The wheels I like are, E34 M5 throwing stars, E36 M3 contour (from a 4 door evo), and E36 M3 sunflowers.

Would there be any issues with staggered fitments and what size tyres would be best.

Cheers

BBS Style 5's in 17 inch, as seen on the M3 at top of zone page!

Depends on which 5 stud set-up you will running, E36 stuff or E30 M3 stuff. Offset's required are different.

You want high offset (E36/E46) wheels if you are running E36 M3 Evo stuff.

Running E36 M3 evo front and Z3 rear, M5 E34 stuff no good then ? is it basically E36 stuff then ? can I fit staggered wheels or do I need a set of the fronts only ?
Whats the max width I can get away with ?

Sorry about all the questions but it should save me a lot of time when buying wheels, don't want to buy the wrong width and offset wheels and waste time and money.

E36/E46 wheels will be a better fit assuming you have a normal E30, non M3 kit?

You can fit staggered wheels, just depends on the offset/width of the alloys. Max width depends on the offset/width/tyre size etc.

You may need to roll/flare the arches if you want to go really wide, 9J plus.

Something like E36 contours

Thanks Imys

I would like some M3 sunflowers or M5 throwing stars, though the M3 contours would do as well.

No problem, good luck with the search
