Does anybody know if you can fit new mini wheels to an e30? i understand bolt pattern is 4x100, but what about offset etc?

IIRC the offset on the 17" m ini rims are 38 or 40mm so spacer would be required

Both my 16's and 18's have a 40 mm offset and i use a 30mm spacer with them (that's to clear my brake calipers)
You'd probably only need a 15-25 mm spacer and a different spigot ring

Have since found out that the mini wheels have the same 57.1mm centre bore and normally have a 35mm offset

HTH
