What size spacers should I run with my E30? Does anyone have any photos of examples of what it looks like?
I have the BBS RS 004 & 003 ”“16X8 ET12 & 16X7 ET25.
It's for a 325ic 87'.
I thought I heard someone mention before 15mm front, and 25mm rear. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

No Spacers required on the wheels.
But the '004's should be on the rear, and the '003's on the fronts.

Thanks for the help. What looks the best though? I guess it is just self preference, but if someone has some examples of what different spacer lengths look like, that would be awesome.Rav335uk wrote:No Spacers required on the wheels.

8" et12 on the front will sit pretty flush if I'm honest
I had my 8s sitting at et10 and that was a little too much for me, I've swapped the spacers around to get them to et25 now
Check my build thread for a picture, it's the 17" BBS picture

Do these require special lugs? I just checked by placing them in the wheel with the stock lugs and it seems really sketch. They wouldn't look good anyway.

I've used stock bolts on mine and they are fine
Just realised you're running a 7 on the front, mis-read your first post, thought you were trying 8s and 9s oops
My 8s on the rear are now et15, but 12 will be bang on, if you're running a slight stretch, I've got a 215/35 on my rears

you can add spacers to you liking by lowering the offset
