17" Style 68 question
 
I did a forum search to find out if these would fit or not. I didnt find anything about the style 68 wheels, but Im seeing that the offset needs to be between 30 and 40. Looks like these are IS50. I do not want to roll my fenders, if possible, but I really want this wheel style. Is the IS50 different from any other type of 50? I would hate to make a purchase and find out they're not what im looking for. Can anyone help?

Edit: I forgot to mention, the car will be lowered with Bilstein Sport/H&R spring combo.

Here is what im looking at:

don't have an answer to our question, but I tell you that this style wheel looks great on the e36s. If you can make it work you will be very happy with the result. I hve a friend who drives a 325 and has these wheels on it. They look SWEET.

Im in love with this wheel style, but I would love to know if they will fit correctly. I see a few Ti's in the photo galleries with them on, but I'm not sure if there were any modifications (rolling fenders) that were involved.

Anyone have an answer?

I'm pretty sure they'll fit as long as they aren't staggered

EDIT: just looked at the ad, and they are, I'm pretty sure the backs won't fit

If they are ET 50 you will just need some 10 or so mm spacers, I would think.

10mm spacers on rear? Im assuming the fronts would be ok?

I have no idea, but if they truly are ET 50 and you want them to sit at the stock offsets, then 10mm spacers would do the trick. They might fit fine without spacers, I don't know.

Yes they'll fit, I had those wheels on with the same suspension setup that you'll be having.
I got OEM ones with the OEM tire sizes from an E46 330Ci.
