#1: Offset 30+ for E30...... Author: g0dspeed,

Howdy guys.... need some advise and comment......I found a set of 16" rims... but the offset is like +30... i wonder whether i need to do some wheelarch works or it can be fitted just like that....

16 x 9j
Offset +30

i reckon the 215/45 tyres should be ok....though it will look a bit undersized... pls correct me if i'm wrong...

appreciate your views... thanks

I'm not 100% sure of course, but from what I've read, if you are running 9" wide tires, 205/50 will require fender rolling, but dunno if that applies to ET30.
205/45 or 215/45 gives you more clearance, so maybe then you won't need to roll your fenders.

Having said that, I'm guessing with that offset that the rims do not have a centerbore to fit E30 (57.1mm)? If not, you will need the hubcentric cones anyway at which point, you might consider hubcentric spacers instead to effectively lower the offset, but again, will need to check clearance since then the wheels will poke out more.

Go run through this thread, Mystikal there has given out lots of info on wheel/tire fitment and I'm sure I've seen a couple of recent posts with 16x9 wheels as well.

Otherwise, you can post a query there too. Smile

Btw, 16x9, whats that eh, Borbet ar? Very Happy

i had this prob before as well....m not sifu but i can share with you my experience.... Wink

bigger the ET...makes ur rim goes further inside...not outside...so no rolling is required - basically.....

so for this case....ur rim will go further inside about 15-20mm if you take ET15 as the baseline....
it wud probably hit the strut inside...instead of the arch.

if you put spacers...it wud work...but you need to roll ur arch
this time it might not hit the strut inside....

if ur rim is 15" u might not need to roll the arch.....

conclusion...it won't fit just like that....
keep us posted on this godspeed.....good experience to share......

Also remember must have that extra .75" on the other side where rim meets the strut. Laughing

Are these the ones from koopang over on bcm?

I saw them too, but was put off by the centerbore size. Smile

I think they're damn nice though. Clean 5 spoke design, deep dish and easy to clean. Only downside is heavy haha.

Of course hubcentric spacers are available.

But good ones cost more $$$. Not to mention that the spacers will add even more to unsprung weight. Then have to factor in cost for new longer lug nuts as well.
