Well I think 13" wheels are great, it's official ?

 

 

Couldn't agree more!

 

Installed these yesterday...

The Campys look great.  Looks like they fit pretty well.  Good job!

Thanks, they fit perfectly.

Would love some details around this setup!
Suspension?

Offset?

 


The rims appear to be 6 x 13 Borrani’s (manufactured by CMR, of which Borrani is a division or brand). Assuming that is true, there are two different models in 6 x 13: an ET17 (R1-528) and an ET30 (R1-561). These might be the latter: ET30.

 

Regards,

Are those 195 tires? Hard to tell.

I’d guess they’re 205/60, unless they’re 185/70, or even 175/70...


You’re right: hard to tell (but that right rear tire, where we can see a little daylight under the car, looks wide)! ?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

I would guess they are not 70 series tires, seem to be 60 or 55 series and since they are far out the ET is closer to a E21 ET. Looks good, looks aggressive but also restrained. Mine looked like that too, but I didn't clear the fenders unless the steering wheel was pointing straight.

You may well be right, Andrew. I guess this would be very simple if @revolve40simply weighed in!

 

With 6 x 13 Borrani’s — and I thought these were 6”, not 5.5” or 6.5” — the offset choices are 17 and 30. But maybe they’re not 6 x 13!
 

Without further comment or guesses, here are ET17 (left) and ET30 (right) versions of the 6 x 13 Borrani.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

I am going to build 13” bbs wheels for my m2. The car will be lowered on coil overs and I think I will run 185/60/13” r888r tires. 13x6 is what I think I should get but I wanna make sure the fronts and rears dont rub.

 

i had bbs001 15x7 et25  and there was an annoying rub on sharp turns. I want no rub at all.  
What offset would I need for 13x6 wheels to make sure there is no rub!?

Sure about 185/60? The diameter is way small compared to original. Allright it might work with very low suspension but usually profile 70 fits better with 185.

 

That's what I have on 13x6 ET30 wheels. I do experience rubbing in track circumstances but I think it's because of my aftermarket fenders. To be sure go for ET35 but usually around 30 should be good.

Well I'm a tad late to the discussion here - thanks for the tag @Conserv

 

These are actually 13x5.5 and the tires are 185/60/13 R888s.

Really warming to a set of 13” wheels for my 2002.  Tyres seem less of a choice but read though the thread and there are a few interesting choices.  Namely the Yokohama A021r in 185/70/13.  Anyone run one as a road tyre?

    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
