Do all e30 bottle cap rims fit 2002s?

I believe all E30 bottlecap wheels are the same, reguardless of the year. They should fit any year 2002 with no problems.

My car came with a set of E30 bottlecap wheels with Yokohama AVS ES100 tires (195-60R14). The right front tire rubbed thru the tie rod boot, so a thin spacer may be required. Curiously, the LF had enough clearance. Photobucket

The later E30s had 195/65 14 tires; the earlier ones had 195/60 14s. These are a better fit, so if you're looking for rims with tires already on them, look for 195/60 14s. But the bottlecaps themselves are all the same. They fit perfectly, but they do come close to the tie rod ends. Also, on the rears, if there are weights hammered on to the inside edge of the rim, and if the handbrake cable housings aren't properly secured, the housings can hit the weights (ask me how I know).
