Default BMW Bolt pattern and offset on teg?

No clue if they fit

Kosei Wheels Posted: Jan, 13 2003
Six 15x7 Kosei wheels with used 205x50x15 Kumho victoracer tires. Used only one season. Tires would be good for school.
Currently running on BMW. Changing car to a E Production racer. Sell all 6 for $600 plus shipping

Sounds good but dont know , dont think it fits a teg

You probably figured this out already...but for everyone else...later BMW's have a 5x120 bolt pattern, while the normal 'tegs are 4x100 and the "R" is 5x114.3. The Bimmer's offset is much closer to zero than the front drive offset of the Honda's.

Some earlier BMWs did have a 4x100 bolt pattern. Don't know the exact years, but if you look hard enough you can score nice stock BMW BBSs that will fit. 14x6 and 15x7 I think.
Not positive on sizes and widths.

The 3 series cars before 1992 had a 4x100mm bolt pattern. I'm not sure of the exact years. I'm not sure about the center hole diameter either, but you may have to machine it out if it is too small. Some of the OEM BMW wheels are very light, and if you can find them for cheap, they may be a good bargain.

E30 (non M3) had 4x100 but the offet is something like 27.

Wow, I had no idea the offset was that low, are you sure SPiFF? I have pictures of some 1990 BMW bottlecap 14's on an Integra, and it doesn't look like they are sticking out of the fenders. Maybe he machined them to alter the offset or something. I remember he said they were less than 11 pounds each. VW also has some nice 4x100mm OEM wheels, but I'm unsure about offset or center hole diameter on those also.

83-91 E30 318i, 318is, 325, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, 325ix used 4x100 wheels

318i, 325, 325e, and 325i came with 14x6 bottlecaps or steelies with 35mm offset
318is, 325es, 325is (and rare 91 325i with sport pack) came with 14x6.5 BBS mesh wheels with 30mm offset
325ix is the bastard with 15x7 and high (41?) offset

Proper offset for a 15x7 wheel on an E30 non-M3 non-ix is about 25-27.

Yeah, i have the 14x6.5 ET30 BBS rims on my G1 Teg. Fits perfect other than the larger center bore, so i just torque them off the ground, no big deal. I run 205-55-14 but can probably stuff a 225-50-14 in there easywith that offset and no need for spacers. Also they are relatively light, under ~12lbs or so...

If I wasn't so cheap, I'd buy these for myself as spares. I'll let you guys benefit my hard web searching. As of 3/13 he still has them, he sent me pics, they look good.
