DEEP DISH WHEELS

[xstream]

HI GUYS I AM THINKINGOF GETTING THE DEEP DISH WHEELS FOR MY E30 BUT IV BEEN TOLD I NEED TO ROLL THE ARCHES WHATS THAT MEAN AND IS IT A BIG JOB???

[m3ben05]

It means the inner part of the arch will be rolled so there is more room in the arch, its not really visible from the outside and not a big job at all

Which wheels are you going for

[xstream]

[xstream]

JUST NOT SURE IF ITS A BIG JOB AND WORRYED HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME??

[benjy]

pls take yoyr caps lock off Nice rims mind

[xstream]

yeah sorry was tired and did not realise i had caps on

[OBs]

WHATS WRONG WITH CAPS LOCK BEN?

Nice RIMS Buddy

Are they Ronels??

[tomtomiS]

they would be worth the effort tho! u should get away with just having the arches rolled or maybe u might have to cut away the inner lip on the arch tho im not sure if thats something to be avoided like the plague.

[m3ben05]

they look like borbett b's

like i said, its not a big job. Plenty of people on here have had it done so someone will be able to give you a rough price im sure

[xstream]

how can i check if mine where ever done before i bought the car????

[OBs]

What size are they?

Shouldnt cost alot really around 25 quid a side

Its just a case of knocking that 'Ledge' that all the mud and crap sits on top of "flat"... Make sure you get them sealed properly aswell!!

yeah there borbett bs

[OBs]

Oh and how low you going by the way?

Andy

[m3ben05]

Who told you they would need to be rolled? What size are the wheels and how low is the car?

[OBs]

Borbets then!

If your car doesnt need painting its quite straight forward...

Yea nice wheels they are...

there 16 inch and i got 17 inch wheels on my car now???

[m3ben05]

Its the width that will be the problem though, if they are too wide they will foul the arches

Im not 100% on the maximum size for a standard e30, but i would guess anything over 7.5" would require mods??

Not entirly correct. It all depends on the drop of the car and the tyre choice. I use to run 17x9 Borbet A's on my cab and didnt have any arch work. I had to go for a stretched look on the tyre to compensate for that though!

[m3ben05]

OK, lets start again here -

Which wheels are you looking at buying?

What size are the wheels? ( please dont just say 16")

How much has your car been lowered?

If you answer these questions it will be much easier for people to help

[xstream]

dude, resize your pics to 800 wide, then press 'enter' betweent he 2 pics so the code has a space and they can stack right. The width is a PITA.

[oakey]

looks like almost standard ride height at the front but -40mm at least on the rear.
