I have been trawling ebay for a second set of 15" wheels for my track E30 and am not sure what sizes will fit without needing a hubcentric wheel spacer.

I have already got one set off a Clio Cup that don't fit!

I think the std fitment is 7J, 4X100, ET25.

What's the maximum offset I can go to?

Thanks in advance

Depends on width of the rim (& tyre choice) - on a 7J you won't get away with much more than ET30, & that might be too much with some wheels. Too far'll narrow the track & screw up your handling anyway, which is hardly what you want for track wheels! Factory BBS are 15x7j ET24 - & are pretty much perfect for track wheels too...

Thanks Ziggy!

So I guess I need to look out for some factory BBS's then!

Anybody know what the going rate for a set of four is? (Tyres not important)

Don't forget the higher the ET the further they will sit inboard. Lower ET moves them outwards.
