not without looking at them. 90% of 15" wheels that are fitted to e21 have too high an offset - this means that if the ones on it are more than et13 then you will spacers.

Hello

Does anyone know, or have experience of whether I can replace my standard 13" alloys with:

15" x 7J rims (offset is +20) fitted with 195/45/15 tyres?

I can't use spacers as they're illegal here in Aussie.

I don't want to run the risk of knackering my wheel arches or suspension.

Cheers

Your answer is one post above yours. Let's say it is 99% sure the offset is too much. You can test fit of course.

Thanks Jeroen
I wasn't sure if the 7J was also an influencing factor.
I'll hold out and search for some with et13.

Yup, rim width is and for 7J that should be abt 13mm indeed.
