BM WORLD 1261 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 they will fit fit they are 8.5" wide so 12.5mm wider than a 8" wide rim , so offset change of 7mm is fine. i have the same size and offset on my e34 544i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1042 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 They will fit fine and yep, they are et13. Use this to see where in relation to your current wheels they will sit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use this to see where in relation to your current wheels they will sit. thanks mate, that site is good...the wheels in the foto are 18 x 8 et 14 and only just "squeak" inside the guards...so a 17 x 8.5 et13 will probably rub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1042 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 You shouldnt get any rubbage if you run the right tyres. What are you running now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 .so a 17 x 8.5 et13 will probably rub thats standard Schnitzer/alpina/hartge etc size, wont rub unless your trying to fit the wrong size tyres on, whether your car is slammed or not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1261 Report post Posted November 23, 2012 std size is 235/45-17" on that size rim etc but you can even fit 255/40-17" and still have clearance (front and back) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
