                The m20 has just about the same power output as a supercharged previa too

                  Wasn't sure I'd like gold rims.

                  After seeing them a few different times I'm starting to dig them!!

                  I've read some mixed info about making 15x8s fit well on the e30.

                  Any info Snap?

                  Looking for some for mine next.

                    With et20 it appears that a wider tire could rub on the strut (225+)

                    I would stick with a lower offset 15x7 since 205-50 is what you are going to find for summer tire sizes. If you are fine with performance all seasons then you will be able to find more available tires wider than 205 that justify getting an 8" wide wheel

                      Thanks for the info Snap.

                      It's always better to hear it from a reliable source then reading some posts from people on the web.

                      http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pts/4820532881.html

                      Been eyeballing these for awhile on CL. I'll have to call to double check offsets and center note.

                          What did you do with the apex seals? Excited to see this rotary powered e30.

                              Hmm, so if I send you an alternator it could come back to me powder coated? 
                              How do you feel about trying an s54 oil filer housing? 

                              So many things that could be shiny and new looking...

                                The answer is YES

                                  et20 with a 16x8 is a couple mm from the strut, and my 225/45 clears the strut by enough to not rub. You can't really go any bigger up front without doing some work.
