Those are exclusive dude. Deep dish contours. I would hop on them fast. As long as they are off of a e32 or e38 your good.
fergie 09-17-2004, 06:00 PM nice one, thanks for you view, if they were off an e36, would they not fit?
Hypr5 09-17-2004, 06:02 PM e36 has a different offset and you would need much longer lug studs and ~20mm spacers... not a safe choice.
from the e32 and e38 7, they should be fine, but double check with the tires. 255 might be a little wide for the front, but im not sure.

If they were from a E36, no they will not. Look on the back of the rim, somewhere there should be stamped the "ET". It will be like "ET18" or "ET40". E34's and 7 series have a smaller offset, or ET.
Just FYI, Breyton Wheels (http://www.breyton.com) has a great wheel chart that tells you all the fitment of wheels and they're ET's.

grecobeemer 09-17-2004, 09:32 PM Yeah if they were on a 7 then you are safe. But it might have been running adapters or spacers. So just to be sure, check the ET on the inside of the wheels...all of them. If they work, then nice find.

Those wheels will bolt right up no problem, but as mentioned previously there may be a problem with the tire size on the front. I am running 235/47/17's on the front of my car and at full lock the tire just begins to rub the swaybar (aftermarket). With the 255's you'll be adding another 20mm to the width (10mm towards the inside). I don't know if this applies to stock swaybars though. I still think you should get them...they look great!
