Et42 will be fine, just watch the rears don't hit the shock.

i will be putting coilovers on. i just need to know if these will fit before i buy them.

can anyone tell me for sure. fitting 195/45/16 tyres.

cheers craig

They will 100% fit if they are 5x100, however they will be close to the coilover when you fit it, you may need a 3mm spacer.

Thanks for confirming, I thought this was the case.


You can just about run 3mm spacers with the stock nuts, just check they get 5 full turns on them which was recommended by the wheel guru's on E38 (just letting everyone know my sources, because it seems required of me).

std 15" gti alloys are 6.5x15 and et43
and the anni uses 7x16 et43 with 215/40 tyres but 195/45 are very close fitment wise
