Need some help. I was given these when I purchased my 85 325e from previous owner, but never mounted them due to the horrible tires on them. I can't find what the exact type of borbet's these are, or the offset?? :rolleyes

I just bought a 85 318i, and would like to mount these rims on it, with new tires obviously.

I saw the rims on the back of the 325e with no spacers, and it had 205/ 45 16's on it...

wondering, how wide can I go on the rubber... I know 225's will fit no problem on the 7.5" rim, but I need to know if they will clear the rear on the 318i and the fronts. I know I need spacers for the fronts, just not sure how big yet. :help

I will be installed H&R OE Sport springs, with Tokico shocks on the 318i next weekend, and would like to know what kind of spacers I might need to run this setup...

Thanks for all the help in advance.. :buttrock

I don't know much about your setup, but I picked up some Borbets as well and am trying to fit them on an e36, but it doesn't clear with HR Sports/Bilsteins, tire size 225/50/16. I am presently attempting to find out what tire size will clear my car.
