Hi all,

I've just got a set of 7.5x15 5 stud Alpinas off a friend's E34 for practically nothing and wondered if they'll fit my 320is, which has full M3 suspension so therefore has 5 stud hubs.

The offset is marked as ET15, which is a bit out from the normal 20 to25 that work on E30s.

Does anybody know if these will fit, or do I need spacers?

Help is appreciated!

Cheers,

Tony

well if i remember right the et offset is the distance in mm from the center of the rim to the face of the flange, so your talkin a 5-10mm difference.

I'd get spacers (prob about 6 mm or so) other wise you could end up buyin wheel bearings in bulk when you can get spacers for £20. better safe than sorry
