13" wheels on e30. Possible?

[Logan]

I found some baller old school wheels :eyebrows

They are 13x7 with a low low offset. No idea what they are :confused

Will they fit over the brakes of a stock e30?

Any pics of e30's on 13's?

Thanks!

i've tried 13 inchs steelies and they didn't fit on my e30 at all

[Logan]

Damn. I wouldn't mind grinding the caliper on anything. Were they a low offset?

there are like 1 or 2 13's that fit over the brakes, most don't though. Those would have to be a real low offset to work. Like low enough to not even go over the brakes lol.

Plus 13's are just too dinky looking.

[Spiff]

it all depends on, if its a 316 i might go ;)

donate to an e21 stance-charity case?

It might; the offset looks pretty low. If it doesn't ... downgrade the brakes.

This :rofl

and what can he downgrade to that fits the e30? nothing.

[slocar]

Well for starters, the rear drum brakes off some low-spec euro e30 are a whopping 30mm smaller in diameter than the disks ... that and they don't have calipers sticking out of them; for the front ... Honda Civic DX brakes ... they use the same bolt pattern, the rest of it can be done.

Fitment is srs bsns.

[bataangpinoy]

then what about the calipers? i dont think they got anything that fits lol but good luck

[WhiteStripes]

Ugh, I don't think I could ever make my brakes worse just to fit a wheel...

Seem like cool wheels, but even if they fit, 13's will be really hard to pull off.

From a Civic as well, with custom brackets. It really isn't as hard as it sounds.

I'm not being serious about downgrading brakes off course, but really, if you wanted to, it would be fairly easy to do.

mate had a set of stefan bcw 9x14's on his mk2 golf that he got from an e30 owner cos they wouldn't go over the brakes. suspect therefore 13" is a no go!!

[SeanDub]

Even if they did clear the brakes, it'd look retarded. The offset looks to be cool, but thats not enough to counter act the fact that they are 13" and hella narrow.
