I have an 81 315 Baur with 13 in wheels.

I would like to change to 14 or 15 inch basket weave wheels. I don't want to modify the car.

What wheel specs will fit my car? I got so confused with all the specs ie negative offset etc. Help. I don't want to buy wheels that don't fit.

Thanks, Peter

15 inch wheels et 13

What he said.

Also see the FAQ section: http://www.bmwe21.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=18256

So, if I have it right, I am looking for 15x7' with 13mm offset.

Will e30 wheels fit?
Will most of the BBS basket weave wheels fit?

I see many pics of e21s with the BBS wheels on them.

Am I on the right track?
Thanks, Peter

With the stock E30 spec alloys the offset is too high (ET around 24mm requiring spacers for use on an E21) but there are some BBS and MIM wheels you find on E30's on a regular basis that do have the lower offset.
