I've had a quick search on the forum before posting but I'm very lucky to know the guys who run dare motorsport and they persuaded me to run there new DR-RS BBS replicas on my e30 I do want them to stick out nicely but the guys at dare want me to run a silly low ET but I haven't got the money to go mad on arch modifications... Any suggestions greatly appreciated :) P.S. No I can't sort out anyone with cheap set of wheels so don't ask lol

Most popular offset for 9j is ET15

so just to make this clear... you can have 9j 16's with et15 and you dont have to modify your arches or anything....? Cheers Neil

You can do but it won't like any kind of suspension compression at the rear!! 8O

Rolling is advised...
