sup

Ill be fitting some 9'' RS's soon as the tyres arrive

ive read on here that you can fit 9's on e30's without arch work

[chu346]

8" would be safe and look good, 8.5" could also be done.

I don't think it's worth going further than that if you have people in the back often or luggage.

Turn off your caps lock for a start

(theres no need to shout)

[hass]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!

Basically, caps means shouting. It's also pretty ugly on the eyes if you're reading a lot of text. If you don't want to type properly, just do all lowercase....it looks a lot better than caps.
Its not a big thing but you'd be surprised how much it niggles after a while.

And you could also say where you come from.

9" rears fit depending on the offset. With a 60mm drop you will definately need to flare the arches and have lip rolled.

i take it the wheels are 3 piece. What is the offset of them at the moment?

Hi guys, sorry to hijack this thread but would be the correct offset to have with 8J x 16" bbs rs's all round. mines lowered 60mm as well

Many Thanks

[hass]

Right firstly i think your all being rude i didnt realise that having caps on would offend all you guys(or yous just got somting to moan about)

anyway SORRY

i have 15"bbs splitrims and there 7j at the mo
the of set are 33

[nav786]

hi mate.

A 9" rim will have an offset of about et7. This seems too low to me. I think you will definately need the lip rolled and maybe flared, especially as you have a 60mm drop. it also depends on the tyre size. I wouldnt go bigger than 215 width.

An 8.5" rim would have an offset of about et 13. This is alot better, you will probably only need the lip rolled, which you should get done as its easy and cheap. I would use 215 tyres on these too.

Hope that helps. The offset fiures are not exact, may be +-2mm

[hass]

thanxs for your help mate

[nav786]

no probs mate.

exact offset for the 9" rim will be et7

the 8.5 offset will be et 14
