E30 Offset Range

[danny_j]

When fitting Bigger wheels.

What kind of Offset Range should i look for?

Depends how big! 15" BBS are ET24, so that's a good place to start... After that you need to just look at how wide the wheel / tyre is, work out how close it's gonna be to the strut or arch & choose an offset accordingly.

Thanks mate

My 17s are ET37 i think

I know a guy with 19s on his E30 with a really bizarre offset it's lowered about 120mm as well on coilovers i'll try and get pics

I've just bit the bullet and brought some 18s so i guess i can just sort the arch work out

ET37 will need spacers to sit correctly, & may or may not foul on something (strut / caliper) depending on wheel design / size... Spacers aren't a problem, just get decent ones!

What width are the wheels you've gone for?

what could happen if you dont use spacers?

im running my wheels without spacers and they are I think a 35mm offset. Never had a problem with them in clearance issues except they just sit back into the arches which a set of spacers would cure.
