16" e38 wheel on my e34
My name is Nicholas and I just joined the forum after months of enjoying the great advice. Just installed a Dalan hitch after reading about it here. Wondering if anyone has any advice regarding putting some 16" e38 rims on my e34. I know they'll fit but am not clear on exactly what size tire I will need to buy. Anyone who knows more than me about this is encouraged to help! Thanks. Nicho

Does it need spacers, or just bolt right up, winfred?

no spacers or rings, but fat tires can rub

Yes, Winfred, fat tires can rub. Like in yer sig.
I like the 225-50-16's on the bottlecaps.

Hey winfred, thanks for the help, checked out those tires, wondering if the kumho 712 225/50/16 works too? Just curious.
16" bottlecaps look sweet
Hey Martin, nice ride. So those are 16" bottlecaps? From where? Not OE for the e34 right?I like the 225-50-16's on the bottlecaps.

probably they are a little shorter and will throw off the speedo slightly and the shorter tires may not be avalable in the harder longer wearing compound that i used, the 712s come in two compounds for different speed ratings, use to be 149 mph and 186 mph but i think they changed the lower rating to the 130 area, not sure how the faster tires wear and act

Yup, those are what I'm looking for, those are the OE 15" right? Keep me posted if you're selling soon.
