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 :shake

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) :D :hammer
i've got 5mm space between the wheel and the rear trailing arm at the rear... :innocent 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.
