Would these rims work on a lowered E34 without any problems?
18 x 8-ET13mm (Front), (2) 18 x 9.5-ET25mm

I thought i needed ET 20 and ET22

they should work fine, but maybe someone who has tried it might be better off to confirm

Ted,

The fronts are fine. I had BBS RK of the same size. But I suspect, the rear needed a 10mm or 12mm spacer to bring them out. Or else there might not be enough clearance for your to fit 245 or 255 tires on those 9.5 inchers!. The wheel mounting shops can advise you on the spacer choices.

Like a glove, you have no problems at all!!!!! I have done replica M parallels for years and never had a problem. Run a 235/40-18 front and a 265/35-18 rear and enjoy the twisties..and the stares.....it will look awesome

My rims are 18 x 8 ET15mm all around. So far no problems... although I do notice slightly more wear in the inner treads (probably on the rear tires) ... then again, those were 3 year old tires, with one track day on them.
