17” staggered wheels on an E34

[Ted K]

Who are running staggered wheels on their E34? What size tires are you running? How do you like the way it drives and handles? Would you do it again?

I am, 235/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear, I love the handling, I would only buy staggered for my 540.

Why for only a 540? I have 535 5speed, and am looking at 17x8 front and 17x9 rear.

i think he ment he would only but them instead of regular wheels, he did not mean that he would only buy them for 540's, its a tricky depiction of words, but i think he ment it this way

I have the same setup on my 95 530i.

How wide are your rims?

[Ted K]

I understand. If he was going to buy wheels, he would only get staggered.

I have 235/45/17 for the fronts and 255/40/17 for the rears. The ride quality seem to be the same as 235/45/17 on all fours. I noticed the turn-in seemed to be sharper and it reduced understeer compared to 235/45/17 on all fours. The staggered setup is the way to GO! I have staggered on all of my cars.

Thanks, sweet looking ride.
