Ralphead 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Why on earth would you want/need to know that? Well.. I need some new tyres but can't afford a decent set right now so was thinking about using a set of BMW wheels with nearly new 205/55's I have as a stop gap. The thing is they're buried in the far end of a shed and it would take me a day to get to them. So before finding out for myself that they don't fit I thought I'd ask. The rims are 7" wide and ET18, meaning clearance on the inside edge would be fractionally more than standard. They should stick out by about 30mm more than standard. I've seen silly wide wheels on Corrados so I can't see arch clearance being an issue. So in theory the only problem could be tyre height. By standard I mean 6J, ET35 Sebrings. At a guess my car's about 50mm lower than standard (basic Weitec spring and damper kit) Should they fit or is it definetely a non starter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted January 17, 2012 I think your biggest problem is the wheel bolt spacing will be bigger than on a Corrado .. No problem with taking those tyres off those wheels and sticking them on some Corrado wheels though. They'll be a teeny bit over-size and you'll find the speedo a teeny-bit under-reads, but they'll be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralphead 0 Posted January 17, 2012 The PCD is the same, they're E30 wheels, 4x100mm. Just the offset and width are different to my Sebrings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted January 17, 2012 have a look here for an idea.. massively different wheel diameter though.. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
