you will need 17mm-20mm 4x100 spacers. what do the rims look like?

[tyro2001]

the easiest way to think of it is that those wheels are made for a front wheel drive car, and you want to put them on a rear wheel drive car. in order to fit a 7.5" wheel on your car you would need about a 25mm offset. those wheels are 42mm, therefore a 20mm spacer would bring the net offset down to 22mm, which is close enough. the lower the offset is the further it will track out from the car. without the spacers the wheels will be too close to the car and contact the front strut housing and possibly the rear shocks, which will prevent the wheel from sitting flush against the hub. in addition to 20mm spacers you will need longer lug bolts which is gonna drive up the cost of the wheels by alot.

yea that and those wheels will look rediculous on your car because they are 18s. In my opinion, e30s look best with 16s... anything bigger is flop stupid on a box car design.
