Can someone tell me how this person is running these wheels on an E21? Is the car modified? Are there bolt pattern adapters and where do you get them? Anyone know the size? Thanks, I really love this look.

I have no info to help you..

but damn that looks good..

All you need is a set of10mm hub-centric spacers with longer bolts.

Cris

You dont even need that.

They are 16 x 7" with a 28mm offset, right off an E30. They will fit on an E21 fine, however the rear only leaves about 5-7mm of clearence between the wheel and the trailing arm. Funnily enough, i havent had a problem on the front, seems to keep clear of the tie rod when at full lock.

They look so fat on the rear of the other car

:D

They look really nice, I want tires like that :P

Ur right madhatter, the front is 16 x 7" but the rear is 16 x 8" off e30

there is someone in Aust that are selling these wheels and he has a site.. tried to post the URL but the site did not allow me...

i am currently running 16 x 7" wheels on my e21 and im not having any problems..

damn lucky kids:mad

no they arent, they are 16 x 7" all round.

is he running 205/45s in the pic?

you need to run 205/45 to match the original wheel diameter, of course you can larger tyres and have the speedo out a little, or you can have it calibrated for the larger wheels.

Ive got 205/50 and 225/45 on mine.

You can get the Alpina Kopi's in a few different sizes from Abraham Motorsports.

I've honestly never been a huge fan of the softlines.

Hi

I had a staggered set on my car (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81621&page=11)

used 10mm hubcentric spacers, now running e21 spec staggerd alpinas.

What do you mean by softlines?

Do they have a web site?

Nevermind I found it.

I have 15x7 bourbets on mine off an e-30 with custom spacers and 205-50, with the way my car is lowered they barely fit...

without the spacers the rears hit the trailing arm and the front hits the sway bar before full lock.

It depends on 1) offset, and 2) wheel backspace.

It isnt so simple as a 15x7" wheel size, more things have to be factored into the equation :)

Am I completely stoopid or aren't those called Alpina Softlines?

Sortlines are the newer style Alpinas. The ones in the thread are called Classics.

Nothing to see here folks....

Ok now I feel like a complete dork. I got this off of the Alpina.de website

These are called the classics, suuumbitch

I'm pretty positive that mine are called the Classics. I wouldnt think they would make these wheels, then 20 something years later make a new model and call them Classics. But KSK seems to have the Classics, and the Softlines mixed up.

Or you be mixed up homie

EDIT: (Just read post above me.) YAHTZEE motha-fugka. You don't even know your own wheels!
