^^A bit abrupt barry but wheels this wide on a e30 do spoil the ride.

looks like one of those "Kool art" cars - wheels are too much IMO - thought if the wheels stuck outside the arches its illegal ?

tyres sticking out past the arches is illegal, due to spray etc, wheels not. thats what stretched tyres and flared arches are for! apparently :)

thanks for the coments ppl it interesting to see what everyone thinks and zizzle thanks for posting up the pics, getting a set of borbet b in 17" on a 4x100 fitment isnt easy so had to settle for these 10's, the ride is actually quite smooth using fk shocks and springs with a 60/40 drop, rears im running 235/40/17 with 10mm spacer and fronts 215/45/17 with 20mm spacer, think the wheels are et13.

is there a need for the 20mm spacers on the front? i think it would look better without, as the front wheel seem to stick out further in the pics. still looks killer regardless!

I think the rears look spot on, not convinced by the fronts though, just a bit too pokey and I have a personal disslike for arches with the lips totally rolled out, they never seem to curve quite right so I prefer a more standard looking pull.
cheers,

I dont no i kinda like it but the front rims are to wide iv a set a 8j ones here that would look so much better fitted to the front of your car.

Iv also the 10j ones for the rear. winkeye

+1

anything over 9j on rear of an e30 looks wrong

and as for the front 8j looks ok but again 10j nooooooooo :?

lovely looking cab and great wheels but with that offset as barry says it must be horrible to drive
