    Cant find a straight answer or explanation . .Will rota slipstreams fit onto a E30?

    I have searched past threads and cant find a straight answer . .can someone help me out and explain it to me?

    http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.php => Click on slipstream (I was thinking of the 16x8's)

    The offsets are near the same as an E30 as you can get them in a 40mm plus maybe a spacer to fill out the fender nicely . . . but I hear that there are wheels that are made for front wheel drive only. My question is will they fit and if they are front wheel drive wheels then why wont it work on a RWD car?

    Can you get the 16x8 in a 40ET? The link only shows a 48. I think an 8 might be pushing it a bit in width unless the tire is downsized -1. An 8" is ideal at 245, 235 will fit but the edge of the rim might be pretty exposed depending on the tire you pick.

    im sorry, I was looking at the 16x7. The 16x8 looks very tempting though. So you think the 48 offset will still fit? You can just use a spacer right?
