Finally got myself a set of M-Pars, 18x8.0 ET13 upfront and 18x9.5 ET25 at the rear. Fortunately no rubbing issues, even with the front set at full lock.

Excuse the rubbish quality pics

Very happy with them so far :D

awesome, i just got the same ones, without the ///M badge. they always fit so perfect in the rear, but the front has that nasty gap, lowerings a must.
are those yoko's?

Yup, Yokohama 265/35/18 rear and 235/40/18 front.

These rims have an indent where the little ///M fits and your right, definately needs to be lower upfront.

Looks good. Needs some centercaps and a drop.

mmhmm I love M-pars, I agree with e34werks.. do that and it will look sick.

Those look great. I might end up with a set, im not fully committed though. Are those OEM or replicas?

Great lookin man. Sexy color for an E34

Very classy lookin, how's the weight on them?

Nice rims.

sweet as

Looks great! Some stickers and a drop and you're set!

@Fastx525ixGuy, They are reps

@gota525i, They are ligther than my OEM Bottlecaps.

Thanks for the comments :) :cool

i love em. 7series ////\/\s are my fav, excellent choice!

what kinda deal were you able to get on them? [cost of all 4 that is]

Very classy lookin, how's the weight on them?

mine are italian reps and were 7.25 pounds heavier than a stock wheels and tire. stock: 15" basketweave w/225/60/15 Mpars: 18" 8.5 F&R w/255/45/18. i kept the big meaties on the rear and put new yoko es100's on the front cause the 255/45s didnt fit. mpar wheel and tire sets can be taken for 500-1000. i got mine for 650. always to remember to to check if the are OEM, i fell for false advetising:shifty

Did you use any spacers up front?

Did you use any spacers up front?

i didnt, if your asking me. only hubcentric spacers.

I guess that question can pertain to you. I had to use spacers when I had Style 66 M rims on my E34. I guess it has to really do with the offset. What is a good offset so I would not have to use a spacer...

Ive got 18x8.5 with an ofset of 13. i also have 235/40/18 tires on it. just make sure the tire clears the spring mount on the front. the 255/45's i had on it were wayy too tall. if you dont have ginormously wide wheels and tires i tihnk your ok with a minimal offset(13).

So the larger the offset the better or is it the other way around?

The larger the offset the more outer lip over the hub. if you want really wide wheels and you only have a certain amount of wheel well you will need to uncrease you offset OR use wheel spacers BUT you dont want your hubs out too far with alot of inner lip/overlap. so Offset>Wheel spacers. i hope this made sense.

So what your saying is an offset of say 13 is better then an offset of like 20 or 25... I've seen some M-pars with something like 22 before.

AS you can tell I'm not well versed in wheels/tires :)

Yup, mpars with 22 offset i belive are rears at 9.5 inchs wide, those would fit and e34 rear. i dont know about front. id run staggerd or non stag 8.5s

Cool cool, I learned something new today.

Thanks :)

No prob atl, dont we all
