[irishandBMWmad]

i have seen a set of BBS CH replicas fs


215/45/17 michelin pilot sports on front
205/40/17 marangonis on rear,
off a mazda 323 but fit anythin 4x100 et 38

Will these fit '87' E30 325i sport?

[snoops]

should fit depending on centre bore and you will need spacers?

[irishandBMWmad]

what size spacers would i need? how would i find out about the centre bore?

[Jonsku]

ET around 20 is ok with those. Centre bore is 57,1mn on E30 hub.

[irishandBMWmad]

So they would fit? you think they would look good>?

[irishandBMWmad]

Can i get some more posts i am going to look at these wheels and not still sure if they will fit!

[Steviec]

You may need spacers to make them clear the brake calipers and you need to find out what size the centre bore of the wheel is, this is the part where the bit that sticks out of the wheel hub site in. If the hole in the wheel is too small, the wheel will not fit and if too big, you will need some spigot rings (plastic rings) to fill the difference.

Kool That is what i needed to know. the centre bore on an E30 sport is 57.2 mm?
Would u know how big a spacer i would need?

Anybody got these or samiler on an E30

15mm hubcentric spacer should do the trick
Cost about £50 ish

Should have added

Centre bore on the E30 is 57.1mm

Little bit of info for you
I run 7" wide rims with a 40 mm offset to clear my Brembos and use a 30mm spacer

They some times catch on the plastic arch liner between 3/4 and full lock

With 15mm spacers you might be ok

[irishandBMWmad]

How would i find out the offset of these wheels??

[BadDave]

Should be marked on them

Look for the letters ET and a number just after it
the other way is to lay the rim on a flat surface, place a flat edge across the topof the rim and measure the distance from the face to the flat surface then divide by 2
then measure the distance from the mounting face of the wheel to the flat surface
Take this measurement(in mm) and deduct the 1/32 distance from that
This will leave you with the offset

Hard explaining without a diagram unfortunately

[irishandBMWmad]
