    Default Wheel/tire fitment

    I'm about to purchase some M-parallel:
    Front:18x8 et13
    Rears:18x9.5 et25
    with:
    Fronts: Hankook Ventus Sports K-104 - 235/45/18
    Rears: Hankook Ventus Sports K-104 - 255/45/18 tires

    will these fit my 94 530it without rubbing?

    Thanks,
    Julien

    These are the usual sizes for 18 inch wheels on an e34:

    18x8.5" Wheels:
    235/40-18
    245/40-18
    265/35-18

    ET22 was used on the rear of the M5, but that is specific to the M5. ET25 could require a spacer, but don't quote me on that. A test fit would answer your question for sure. ET20 is the norm for the e34. So your front wheels are going to be taken out a bit further with ET13. I've no idea if that can be a problem.

    My brother had M-Parrallel replicas on his E34 and with a 18"x8", he had to run a 235/45/18 on the front as a 245/45 sat right up against the strut. I'm not sure what the ET was, but he didn't have to run spacers, and the previous owner had them on a 7 series. He just had to use the hubcentric rings. Tires shouldn't be a problem for you, but that ET13 I'm not so sure about.
