Unanswered: Will 14" BMW wheels fit an Ascona?

Got a chance to buy BMW 4X100 BBS wheels with 195-65-14 P6 tires. Think they'll fit my 1974 Ascona?

Depends on the offset, but quite possibly yes. Which BMW are they designed to fit?

Almost certainly, as those are probably from a 2002ti or tii, or an early 320i, which are an exact fit for the GT and darn close to the Ascona/Manta. The later 323 and 318's have a sightly different offset, but fit the Ascona even better. Have a search here in the "Wheels and Tires" Forum where I moved (and slightly re-named) your post. And as a favour, please use the search before you start a new thread, especially for topics such as this which comes up in no less than 32 related threads.

Garage
14x6 BBS wit ET13 are typically from a 3 series BMW E21, and are a perfect fit for the GT (see picture). On a Manta/Ascona you might want a little more offset - like ET25 or even ET35 from a BMW E30.
