I`m looking at a set of bbs RA wheels; 195/45/15, rim width 6.5j . offset 35. 4 x 100 stud. Will these fit straight onto my e30??

Thanks

they should fit ok, but will look a bit lost in the arches and would be better with 10 or even 15mm spacers. there's a change they could hit the front struts, but as theyre narrow you might get away with it.

plus the tyres are a lot smaller than the standard e30 205 55 15, so the car will be lower to the road, and the visible gap between the tyre and the wheel arch will be bigger.
cheers,
