Hi guys!

Might sound like a stupid question but was wondering whether wheels I had on my fiesta would fit straight onto my e30 318i. Reasons being coz they're quite cool, retro style wheels (probably the best part of the fiesta) and I kinda remember hearing they'd fit onto a vw golf mk2 which would mean they might fit onto the beemr....if what I remember was true that is.

I know I could always just try and fit them but they've been left round a mates house who now lives quite far away. If I know for sure they wont fit then I can get him to sell them for me.

Ford wrongness for 4-studs is 4x108 PCD usually, and the PCD for E30 is the same as most early 4-stud VWs : 4x100PCD.

So your wheels won't fit, UNLESS, they are 4x100.
