    Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this. I just got a 1985 325e,

    I also picked up some rims-

    5 lug, 57.1 hub opening. they were off a e39.

    Again, I'm very new at this, I've never done this before, that's why I need all the help I can get lol. What size mm spacer should I get??

    I figured it out, I'm about to order some 5x120 18mm adapters from bloxsports and bc racing coilovers. I got my rims in the mail and waiting for my mtech 2 body kit.

    You need hub centering rings from 74.1mm to 72.56mm. No spacers needed, but your tire selection is limited. Check out r3vlimited.com for a great e30 (and not only) community.

    +1 on the hub centering rings.
    The wheel and car color pair nicely!

    It depends on the spacers. Some of them will have a pilot that goes into the hub to make the wheel hub centric. Check with the spacer company.


    If ordering through the web site click through one of the banners and list "Jim" as a previous contact. The Tire Rack will direct a portion of the proceeds back to the the Bimmerforums.com site.
