I am looking at buying a set of parallel rims (chrome), in the staggered setup. The measures are 19*8-F, 19*9.5-R. The question is has anyone seen this setup before and is it possible without having to do any fender work. Right now I have a awkward looking setup (see the pic). They are 17's and they came on the car...not my choice.

Thanks

no pic?...pretty sure with 19's and no fender work your going to have some serious rubbing going on..you could just gut your car and just put a crate in there for you that might help

You will definitely have to roll the rear fenders to fit 9.5, and drastically if you slam the car

wait.. are u buying the Mparallel replica rims made for the E36 and not the OEM ones for the 7 series? I hope so coz u cant fit the offsets from the 7 series. But in either case.. 9.5" is a bit wide for the E36 rear.. a lot has to do with the tire size to fit that 9.5" rim! I run 235/35/19 tires all around on 19x8.5" rims with a 43mm offset. I rub in the fender not the lip if theres a heavy passenger over a decent bump. The tire is tucked in the rear.
