E21 offset is ET13 so you'll need to run spacers up front to use E30 rims.

I've got a set of OE turbines I can do you.

I also have a set of turbines located very near to you, and if you do live in Cheetham hill area I work in Crumpsall so am there most days.

So what size spacers are needed for the 14" BBS basketweaves? I'm looking at a decent set going cheap (the E30 guys all want 15" jobs).

How much does a set of 5 oem turbines go for?

I've had a look at proper spacers(i.e. with a hubcentric ring) & they're £80+. :crazy Cheap flat ones are under £20 but they won't locate the wheel properly.

Are spacers needed front & rear for 14" E30 wheels?

You only need them up front, but it looks better if you have them on the back too.
