I also have the suspension lowered and the arches just catch and cut the side walls at the back. Although saying that they are 7j was just what I got off the wheel, they do have a 1.5 inch deep dish on them

in the top pick you can just see the tire has been scrapped by the arch. replaced them since this pic with pirelli's

i know that e21 on Ebay got 9 at the rear and 8 at the front.
10.5 and 9.5 doesnt fit on the e21. belive me.. (then you have to cut out the arches)

i've got 5mm space between the wheel and the rear trailing arm at the rear...

Sooo... it doesnt fit.
9 inch wil also not fit on the front. The steeringarm and the baljoint is too long and gives a problem by these E21.
E30 got smaller steering arm and thats wy e30 fits those wheel sizes.
