my birthday's on the 25th you know...  lol, jk, sweet rims, I vote for them to go on the ti | | | | | 03-13-2009, 05:58 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Of course I want to put them on the ti, they would look amazing! But these are Style 5's from an e39. Do you think they will rub a little? See for yourself...     The tires that came with them are 245/45/17's... Um, just a little too big... I knew there wasn't a chance in H.E.Double.Hockeysticks that they would fit, but I threw them on for giggles, kicks, and pics. However the tires are literally new (still have the little nubs...), so I want to get some use out of them before I buy some stretched rubber and a fender roller... So, I mounted them on the coupe which still has a factory suspension (no drop);   And, presto, no rubbing! (kinda sorta, if you don't count speed bumps or pot-holes.) __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Look really good. I like them on the M3. I need to get me some new headlights like yours. Mine are still stock. Ugh  And I need that lip on my front bumper as well. Haha. O well the rims are looking great though. __________________

Thanks, Will... The rims on the coupe give me a real old school thrill...  takes me back to my old Mopar days... I had a 1967 Barracuda with centerlines and a dropped front.

not sure how wide your new wheel is, but 7.5 width with 235-40-17s on a droped suspension (no coils though) will not rub... no fender rolling neccessary either. however, if you go super low (like with coils or bags) try and find 215-40-17s - as with those there is no way you'll rub (again, no fender rolling)... if you feel ballsy, you may even wanna try 205-40-17s, but you may risk wheel damage and curb rash if you hit a pot hole... whatever you do - get some pics up here after you are done - so we can check it out... __________________

Thanks for the tip Marko, I have some good 235/40/17's on the other rims, so I will swap them and give it a whirl! __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
