from what i remember, they are E30 bmw fitment, centrebores machined out and then a chamfer machined on the mating face to clear the rear brake pads and caliper as the centres are pretty chunky

arches have all been shaved but no metalwork mods, but it already had smaller rear bumper mountings (maybe a previous attempt at big wheels)

doesn't rub unless its a big bump or full lock

Thanks for the comments boys, I have a spoiler in the garage in white, does need a respray to freshen up but there is something I like about the none spoiler look.

right move

**philg** · 06-03-2010, 15:43

could someone give me the info i need to look out for some rims, size ofset etc

I think most 15" are 7" wide running a 195/45/15

most old rims 16" are 7.5 wide running 195/40/16

im i right in thinking a 4x100 with 35-38 ofset is correct for both size rims.

Help guys

The car NEEDS an OE spoiler! They finish them off perfectly IMO.
