Would something like this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MG-Rover-Hairpin- ... 27b89a6100

fit on a 318iS? the stud pattern is fine but I don't know enough about offset to work it out. Also wheel width etc.

I think they'd look quite nice, opinions? They look a lot like these BBS http://www.felgenmann.de/bbs%20772%20500.jpg

Well the stud pattern is right so essentially yes, but I'm not sure about the offset?

I had a set of these on my E30 for a while and yes the offset is a mile out @ ET48 or something like that, i ran them with 30mm spacers.

I do have a pic on my old laptop somewhere so ill try and dig it out for you.

Thanks. What's the proper offset? And were they okay with the spacers?
