    10j et20 will fit easily on the rear of a e34 in fact you'll really want et00 or less for it to look proper cool, may need spacers for inner clearance on the front though im not really sure, i recon with 25mm spacers and a bit of arch bashing at worst you'd get em on there with a great stance, just not convinced rota grids would suit an e34 though.

    10j won't go on the front of an E34 without ~15-20mm spacer, I had them on the front with a 20mm spacer and with a slight arch roll and a 235-245 tyre on they would have tucked in the front nicely with the right ride height. Rear fits fine but I'd put on a spacer again to match the front fitment and no more than a 245 rear. :)

    Thinking bronze on a silver 34 would look stunning

    Bon when you fitted them to Jays old e36 did they need spacers on the front for the 10js?

    Nah they'll go straight on, I put them on my E36 touring briefly when it was high and engineless.

    I bet they'd pretty much fit now I've got camberrzzz on the front and worked the rear arches for style 5s.

    Probably a spacer to clear the strut, it'll look proper rollerskate spec at normal ride height but if you slam it and camber it in (which happens when they go down anyway) then it'll fit a treat. For example, 18x8.5 ET13 looks LOST on a lowered car.

    Cool, well i dont want to slam it as its my tow car, and dont want too much camber as i do 18k miles a year or more. Im sure i could get it looking cool with the right spacers, aslong as there not going to poke out the archs by loads, itl be cool, which it sounds like it will be fine.

    Any one got some i can borrow to check fitment?:D

    Yet another question......Will the 10j fit alright on the front of a e46 330 with just a mild bit of arch roll? Or is it gonna be some extreme hammer time?
