As above really, would they work with spacers etc? what Et is a normal E30 wheel? Would the Et13 wheel stick out further or be in further than the E30 wheels


TIA

BBS 15" are ET24, so ET13 would stick out more on a standard car.

I think mims are around that offset, so depending on width you should get away with it :thumb:

i cant remember which page of my m5 thread it is andy,
but the schnitzer wheels were et15 and 8.5x17.
if you look at the pics it might give you some idea mate.
the lower the offset, the further out they'll be.

Doesn't it depend on whether you are using E36 or E30 M3 parts for the 5 lug conversion?

I think it does...

I'm not 100% but I think e36 wheels need spacers to be used on the E30 M3 so I'm guessing they require different offset.

Which method did you use to go 5 stud?
