   does anyone know if style 42's are okay on e24's? They'd need a hub ring, I know but they're 8x17 F&R so what tyre size would I need?? 235 45 17's all round?

Thanks y'all

	What car did the style 42's come off? If the wheels came off an e38/e39 then yes you would need rings, but if they came off an e36 3 series then you would need wheel spacers as the offset would be wrong. You need about ET20 whereas the e36 offset is ET35-40. 235/45/17's will be just fine. HTH Paul
