what offset/width rims for 2002 with turbo flares?


Cynical_1

Recommended Posts

considering putting turbo flares on my 69 2002 that i will be restoring, as it will have a turbo engine in it...

was wondering what width and offset rims fit the flares best? they will be properly installed.

thinking i'll be running 15 inch rims on it, and at least a 225 tire.

please post pics/specs, as well as how much it was lowered if applicable.

thanks!

I'll get pics for you tonight, but I'm running 15x8.5 et13, 205/50 r888s (which run wide) and had to shave the lips of the IE flares to get them to not rub with IE stage 2 springs in the back and coilovers up front. You'll need to get some camber up front to clear this setup on compression, as well.

15x8 with zero offset. I believe this has been covered a number of times in the past.

searched and couldn't find any info...

i'll be using your IE flares and suspension...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
