Oh My God. I've been looking for some new 'rimmage' for my Beemer for a bit. Set my heart on some 9x16 borbet A's. Found a set on KrautBay, they'll deliver to the UK, so boshed on a bid. And won. And now I've just noticed that they are actually 2 9x16's and 2 monsterous 10x17's Which I have a sneaking suspicion are not gonna go under the arches. YIKES!!!!!!!!

yes just have to do some arch smashing. i hammered and cut mine apart, but you'll probably want to go for a bit of a nicer approach with an arch roller for the lip and maybe need to hammerup some of the wheel well.

can't see 10s fitting, TBH. they don't like fitting e32s let alone an e30. if they're cheap and you can punt them on if they don't fit, go for it. otherwise, measure carefully. if they do go on you will have a monster win!

Hmm.
Don't want to batter the arches really. But given their rarity I'm sure they will fetch some good dollar here.....

well you only asked if they'd fit, not look good I like e30s on 15"s myself, but 16" borbets would look cool.

Would I be right in thinking these are 4x100? If so you're flogging on options are extended to Corrado owners as well

Fit them Nick you lord.
Next you'll be getting a Diesel conversion.
All you need is the arches pulled and probably not that much either.
