tires and wheels Will 325is 15" wheels with 195/50 X 15 tires be a good

[tlh02]

One source suggested I'll need to get e21 320i rotors and notch them out for the 325is wheels to fit my 2002. If so, does this also suggest doing a vented brake upgrade at the same time?

[2002maniac]

that is definately not true. They should fit fine as long as they are not 325ix wheels (awd)

[tlh02]

Thanks for the wheel fit confirmation. Are the 195/50 X 15's the best tire size?

Are you talking about E30 325is wheels? If so, those were 14's not 15's. If this is a later 325is wheel, the offsets are different.

Europe spec E30's had 15" baskets on them as well as 14"s. The offset on the 15's is ET24.

E30 325is cars were delivered in the US with 14" basketweaves. The only stock 15" wheel delivered on E30's in the US were on the M3 which are 5 lugs.

They should fit fine - I was using 323i 15 inch rims from an 83 and had no problens with 205/50-15 Goodrich tires with rolled fenders.

I have 15" e30 basketweave alloys, et24, 195x50 Goodyear something-or-anothers, and nothing rubs and I haven't rolled the wheel arch lips and I'm running pretty low with coilovers.

Actually, 15" Basketweaves (4x100mm x 15) were an option on the U.S. Spec. 325is

As were some cool looking 6 spoke 15x7's

I've never seen non-M3 e30 factory 15's. Love to see some pics if you have them. Love the 14" baskets on an 02. Love to see some 15's. My 15x7 Alpinas required flares.

195/60/14 will work well in that case.

Those would be called style 10's
