Wats up everybody , my question is would 16x9,16x10 bbs rs wheels fit my 91 e30 convertible. It was painted not to long ago so I don't want to roll fenders ( I heard u have to repaint when u roll fenders) or would 16x8,16x9 b better . Wat would be the measurement to convert the rim that is 16x10 to 16x8 since there 3 piece rims thanks

8s and 9s would be better as 10" width would require significant fender modifications to work. As for converting a 10" width to an 8" width, it depends on the offset of the 10" rim....For the record, an 8" with a +18 would work on the front perfectly. If you provide the current offsets, I can provide you the detals you seek.

Those wheels will require more than a fender lip roll on the 9" or 10" wide. The other issue is they just don't make any tires that will fit the car correctly in the 16" with that wide of a wheel.
