Advice needed - Alloys and tyres.

These will get too expensive for me, VERY nice though (Despite their branding!): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150651712987? ... _500wt_998

What size tyres are you guys using? For the Slot Mag Reissues (http://www.wolfrace.co.uk/40th_details.php?wheelID=244); I was recommended 195-50-15.

195/50's will be fine. You can go to 205/50 on the rear or even 215/50 with a bit of arch rolling.

Hi Peter, did you need spacers, or did the wheels fit straight on? Thanks!

So you want the 15 inch BBS alloys for the BMW E21. That would be the Mahle version with ET13 and then in 6,5 J or 7J. We have 7J on our 316 and it looks like this:

Would these be too wide anyway, even with these tyres on:

8x15", 4x114.3 pcd, ET43
185x45x15 Tyres

They're the wrong PCD. You need 4 x 100. ET13

He said he could supply adapters, at an extra £120.. Will forget about this one I think!

The BBS wheels we have are a straight fit. No spacers or whatever. You only need to know that BBS uses longer wheelbolts.
They are 7J with ET 13. The tyres are 195/50/15 Bridgestones.

Thanks Peter, I located a set but they are ET24

Those are probably a set off 15 inch BBS from the BMW E30 series. Is not a big problem but you need spacers at the front of 10 to 15 mm. The back is no problem. I had those on a E21 as well.

Thanks for that, they look well on your car.. I'll have a look into pricing for spacers and longer bolts!

I got these from eBay Germany, for €271 inc delivery:

They're 15 - 7J - ET24, so I need to get those spacers and bolts, I think Demon Tweeks have them..
