porsche rims

Post Sat Dec 02, 2006 7:56 pm

anybody running porsche rims???
havent seen an e30 with them yet, most be 1 out there. anyideas about spacers hub addaptors etc??

Have a look on the VW forums, as it's quite popular on Golfs etc. Seeing as the Golf has the same stud pattern and centre bore size as an E30, you should be able to get them to fit.

yeah had a look there, as i have a caddy too, only prob i can see is that porsche rims have a 58 offsett so wil be 30mm closer the inner arch. is a spacer that size cool ????

Post Sun Dec 03, 2006 6:09 pm

As far as i'm aware, all porsche 911 wheels are 5 stud so you will need adapters which will put the offset about right anyway. That's if they are the ones you want.

I was going to go for a set of them

Yes but the good thing about having that offset is that you can use a 30 mm adaptor with 4x100 pcd which bolts to your hub,then 5x130 pcd wheel ontop .Picture below :

Obviously cant do this with the bmw 5 stud as they are already the correct offset.
Ive been looking into doing this also as there are bbs wheels in porsche fitment.

not sure if its because of the bodykit but i dont think the e30 shape suits they wheels at all,but then its your car so your choice

Post Wed Dec 06, 2006 3:46 pm

I dont think the US spec bumpers do it any justice at all.

I reckon they will look pretty good, kind of like RH Toplines

Post Wed Dec 06, 2006 4:20 pm

He is fitting dials to this car.

and this is Garrick's

Post Wed Dec 06, 2006 5:25 pm

personally i think they wil look pretty pucka( guess i wouldnt of brought them otherwise)
the wheels are flat and the e30 is pretty square boxy car think they wil work wel togrther,

ile post photos on sat and see what ya think.

Post Thu Dec 07, 2006 7:57 pm

when i first got a e30 i brought a set of porsche cup wheels and a set of adaptors. The wheels were 4 front wheels 7.5 j . I liked them and all my mates took the piss so i put them back on ebay.

i would find some new mates buddy,

im going with 928 rims coz i like the wheels, not because i canot aford a porsche,

They're tasty wheels for sure. Just seems a bit laughable having Porsche badges on a BM - some would no doubt think that really you want to be driving a Porsche but can't afford to! A bit like saddos who put Ferrari badges on their Fiats. It'd be easy enough to apply some BMW roundels to the Porker caps wouldn't it?

Post Fri Dec 08, 2006 2:14 pm

are those rims Player posted the pic of from a 944 Turbo?

they do look rather sexual

Post Fri Dec 08, 2006 3:15 pm

i been doing my research today phone my man at ash tyres, it can be done no probs!!!! im looking for some rims now at the right price!!! havnt seen a e30 tourer with porker rims yet!!!

the rims are the rears from a 944 turbo, they are 8 j wide cos they have a bigger dish than the fronts....

should be fun!!

Post Fri Dec 08, 2006 8:33 pm

I was going to get these for the golf but if they fit a e30
