View Full Version : 5 series wheels on E30 M3 qwickm3 12-01-2005, 11:25 PM I see a lot of E30 M3 with wheels that look to be e34 or e39 fitments. I know the offset on these work and it looks awesome on e30s but was does it take to make these work. I am assuming just a different hub centric ring since the bolt pattern and offset are right. WhiteE30 12-01-2005, 11:39 PM i remember seeing a set of the 17" bbs style e39 rims on an e30 m3 on s14.net. it is an awsome look but i can't remember what it takes to make it work. BingM3 12-01-2005, 11:50 PM I run 18's and my friend 17's Style 5's. No spacers on both cars. You will need to remove brake front clip if you have new rotors and pads, it will rub a bit. If you want to keep clip and it rubs, then you may want to put minimal spacers. Other than that, offset works:buttrock E34M50 12-02-2005, 01:00 PM here's an example on my previous M3...i liked the way it looked...offset is perfect but i used spacers on front to be able to use the rattle clip...the spacers where hubcentric and converted my 72.6 bore to 74.1mm that these wheels were...they were customed made though... ///M318i/// 12-02-2005, 06:34 PM ^ the whole car looks amasing M triple 12-03-2005, 12:51 AM Staggered 18" replica's from my E34.

Tires were too big however... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/Mtriple/DSC00169.jpg i noticed how close those tires sit next to your front fender. does that thing rub when turning? i tried putting 18s Breyton Inspirations on my E30 M3 and that thing rubbed when i turned. its was 18x8.5 all around. the rears are fine but the front rubbed the wheel well....
