  • Wheel question for e36

    I have a 92 325i sedan and need help figuring out which wheels would work best with a 15mm adaptor. Wheels I'm wanting to get are not 5x120.

    The wheels in question are 18x8 with an offset of either 30 or 43. Or I could get 18x9.5 with 15 or 23 offset.

    Stock wheel offset is 43 I believe. Not sure how many of you have had an e36 before but any help would be great. Thanks guys

      You think 18x8 with offset of 28 would be flush? (43 offset wheel with 15mm spacer)

        read his post one more time, then answer your own question.

            Think I'll go with the 18x9.5 with 23 offset so with the adaptor it'll be an 8 offset.. think that'll do it... with nice stretched tires too.

            Do you think I should go with matte gray or bronze on my green car?

              9.5 et8 will be a tough fit, hope your fenders are pulled a lot

                Yeah that's what I was thinking... shit. Wish they had a little higher offsets for the wider wheels... Think I should go with the 18x8 with et28? or 18x8 with et15.

                I'd **** to buy the wrong size and not have it at least flush.

                  Look into different wheels?

                    think I might have to... really wanted these ones. Oh well. I'll have to keep looking. Thanks for the help!

                      buy 'em and have the back-pad milled a bit.

                          Now that I think about it, it would be a hassle because I wouldn't be able to get spacers along with the adaptors if needed for the 18x8. It'd be easier to just get 5x120 wheels then I can play around with different sized spacers with less of a hassle
