I'm looking for pics of E30's with the following wheels...

BBS RGR's
BBS Le Mans'
BBS CH's

E39 M5 wheels
Z3M coupe/roadster wheels (not sure if they have the proper offset, but I think they'd look sweet and I've seen it on an E36.
E46 M3 Comp package wheels

I'm also curious as to what is the widest wheel you can run in the front and rear of the E30 M3's without rubbing. The largest diameter I would go is 18 inches. Thanks in advance.

I have 17" M5 replicas, will that do?

I like them, but they're missing the lips. Looks like four front wheels. I saw a pic of an E30 a while back with the factory 18's only he was running four rear wheels. Still looks good though.

wouldn't there be an advantage to using a staggered setup with 18x9.5 or 10" wheels on the back? It seems like a shame to waste those wide rear fenders. :stickoutt Total hotness though. You know what I think of your ride. Can I ask what you paid for the BBS's?

lol, put it together with the screen name and the PM ;)

I hear what you're saying and I was going to get an extra set of 10's or at least 9.5's for the rear for show.. but every day driving it makes no different (not enough power to justify the added rubber) and staggered setup actually hurts the handling on the M3. I use those S03s for my wet tire on the track.

I paid way too much for them as I ordered them from Japan before they were available here in my size/offset/bolt pattern. They are a BBS "tuner" wheel in that the spacer creates the correct centerbore and offset.

so if I was buying an E30 with a AA s/c S52 in it, would it be worth it to go with a staggered setup since the extra power will definately pose some traction issues?

well you can fit a wider tire on the rear as well.. but at that point you might as well go staggered. Pushing that much power, the more rubber on the road the better.

I know there's no lip on the rims :( , but I did get a good deal on them. $400 for the set with almost new tires. :redspot I ran them on my E34 Touring and then decided to put them on the M3. Of course that necessitated the purchase of new tires.:D
