Am I right in thinking that the wheel configuration, i.e, 4x100, is the same on the E21 as E30? That is to say, can I put E21 Mims (1900's, I believe) straight onto my E30, or was there a variant of them, specific to the E30? I know that a previous set of 1900's supplied by a zoner just fell on to my last car(E30), but Ive got the chance to get another set for my current E30 which are claimed to be for an E21. Simply put, will the buggers fit?!Help for an old fool would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure they will fit, they will just sit a bit different in the arch due to ET differences. Do you know what ET the wheels are? Assuming they are bigger than 13" .

Sorry, all I know is that they are 15x7 with 205/50 tyres.

If there from an E21 they will be ET13 and yes they will fit.

I think they will be ET12 so will sit in the arch, you might want to stick a 10mm spacer on to bring the wheels out a little bit.
E21's use low ET offset's.

That will make it ET2 Imy with a spacer and will definatley hit the arch with 205 tyres.
Offset should be stamped on the wheel somewhere.
