Hi, I didn't put this in "wanted" as it's not definite, but I need to investigate the option of using spacers, in order to fit E30 alloys (ET24) to my E21. I'm told I'd need 10-15mm Spacers, and longer bolts. Anyone here done this, and how much of an outlay was it? Would 15mm spacers make the car look better from the front, and while I'm told i wouldn't need them for the back, would spacers improve the look?
Thanks, Enda.

Very shiny on the outside, soft and rusty on the inside..
Still searching for a nice solid E21, on a shoestring!

With 7J ET24 rims on the front 10mm spacers will be okay. Like this the wheels look best if you ask me. On the rear I don't think you need 'm, but I would use them anyway cause it looks ugly otherwise.

Thanks for that. What kind of Bolts would you use? And do you know where to buy this kit?

Re: Spacers and bolts
All I can find online are 15mm spacers, and I can't find any long bolts, anyone know where to get them? I actually need them now, so I'll move this to Wanted. Thanks!
