Been offered a set of these to part exchange for my MiM 2900s (which I couldn't get to fit up front). Just wondering, do the 1900s need any spacers and/or modifcations (grinding TRE/caliper) to fit on a 325?

Cheers

ET 25 is correct offset for the E30 so they will fit straight on matey.

Mine have got ET25 on them and I had to use 20mm spacers on the front.

Really? Arse! Anyone else using spacers to get these on, as they seem to be quite a common wheel....

Not for MiM 1900's it isn't. Even the et13 version has no more than a couple of mm clearance on the front calipers.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

you need to know the offset AND the width of the wheel before you can say if it should fit.

The difference in offset is in the thickness of the hub face. The et25 hub face isn't as thick as the et13's, this means the inside edges of the spokes are 12mm closer to the hub, caliper and disc on the et25's.
Sorry, I'm not too good at explaining things, I hope this makes sense.
