Wheel PCD

Post Fri Apr 06, 2007 12:07 pm

Im searching ebay for a set of rims for my E30.
I know the correct offset for the E30 is ET25 although im told that can move a bit depending on the rim, ie 7x17inch isnt too wide so should be ok.

What im looking to know is what other cars have the same PCD?
I am looking at a set of alloys on ebay, the seller claims they fit all the cars I have listed below,surely all these havent got same PCD and similar offset?

The 4 x 100 PCD may be the same but the centre bore sizes and offset will differ wildly between all those makes.

if they are after market alloys then the centre bore wont matter as they make them over size. you'll need a set if spigot rings to match your car. and yes most if not all of the cars listed will fit. hlh

None of the listed cars will have the correct offset, you'll need spacers to make them fit correctly. The original E30 offset is ET15. You'll need at least 15mm spacers to make the wheels fit correctly.

The offset according to BMW should not fall below 24 ... hence the 15" BBS being ET24, Hartge 16" ET25 etc.
PCD is how many bolts there are and their diagonal spacing.

If you look for wheels that are 4x100 PCD and an ET over 24 you should be fine. Nut most people write which car a wheel fits ... eg E30 or VW Golf.
