: : CAN ANY ONE TELL ME THE WHEEL SIZE OF A 325ix. ARE THEY 5 lug nuts or 4. would they fit a 2002? Any help would be appreciated

: I know that the 91 GTI Golf had 15 inch BBS
that would fit a 2002. Do you know the offset of those and were can I find them?

That's probably the 2.0 Liter 16v Golf GTi,
so those wheels would be the 2-piece 15x6.5" but
i don't know the offset. I do know that the
offset for the one-piece 15x6.5" BBS Corrado G60
wheel is 33mm and it has a 5-1/16th" backspace
and would fit an E30 perfectly, and probably an
'02 as well. There was a third VW BBS wheel -
a one-piece 15x6 that came on the 90-92 Jetta
2.0L 16v Jetta GLi. But the GTi version were
two-piece with the small bolts around the rim.
The Corrado and Jetta BBS had no bolts of course.

FWIW, i've run my 89 325is on a few of my various
14x6 VW wheels with offset ranges of ET33 to ET38.
The earlier VW 14x6 offsets (ET38 83-92) are
close to the E30 requirements , but 93 and newer
VWs used a considerably deeper 45mm offset.

The VW BBS wheels are soft and bend easily, but
are still in demand among VW enthusiasts. They're
hard to find in the VW circles.
