How wide are your tires?

[xuor]

I already got some 255's on 18'' at the back and 225's at the front.

Do you think that 275's/back and 235's/front would fit?

Is it too wide?

[liquidtiger720]

235's would fit....

275's might be too wide. Mine barely fit with 265's.

im also 225 on the fronts and 255 in the rear....2nd on 275 being to wide...unless you space them and roll your fenders

[xuor]

roll your fenders

I think my fendres are already rollled

unless you space them

space them?

Backspacing the wheel to gain equal clearance inside and outside.

I think my fendres are already rollled


space them?

It's depended on the size and offset of your wheels. 18x8 offset 20 will be fine with 245/40/18 tires in front, and 18x9 offset 22 will be fine with 275/35/18 tires in the back.

here's the exact dimention of the rims:

Wheel
Front 18x8.5 5x120 +15 74.1 center bore (1.5 inch high polish lip)
Rear 18x9.5 5x120 +25 74.1 center bore (3.5 inch high polish lip)
Tire
Front 245/40/18
Rear 275/35/18

So the offset is to big?

If it doesn't fit, do you know if I can put 255's or 265's on 9.5'' wide wheels?

Front will be no problem. The rear wheels are 9mm close to the inner fender well and extend 3mm more out if compare to 18x9 offset 22. I think the best bet would be 265/35/18 tires, and it might rub in the inside. And keep in mind, not all tires are made the same, some are wider even if they are the same size.

I'm so glad this thread came up. I was looking at a 2001 e39 M5 over the weekend. It had 275's on the rear and 245's on the front and i was wondering if I were to track down some of these wheels (even reproductions) would they would fit. Anyone know the offset specifications for these factory m5 wheels? To xuor's original question on size, would this be a better means of fitting 275s/245s on our e34s?

I run 245s all around.
