Just got a good deal on craigslist for a set of OE 19" from a 2002 750il. I am not sure if it fits but I bought it anyway. :p It seems big for e34. I searched bmwe34.net but no document for 19" wheels.

Anybody has 19" on their e34? Could you please post a pic?

Thanks.

ohhh, I think I just fell in love. IF the ride wasn't borderline "too" stiff already :(

Anyone want to chop those on my touring?

Luckily they make em in 18x8.5... but still, 19's wow.

Rear is too low...
That's about where mine sits once you take the extra rim diameter in to consideration... it may be 3/4" lower than mine... hmmm
certainly NO way to dial out any rear camber it looks like on those though, at least without lifting the car back up.

you can get Dinan rear eccentric "decamber" bushings for the trailing arms... that will help a bit.

however you already have sweet ACS wheels.... you selling?

not until I get those others...
Honestly I love em... except they are a BEAR and a half to keep clean...

The one piece ACS III I would prefer to mine, but the above ones I really like.
Mpars are Everywhere, and to me look (not are) too delicate against the visual mass of a touring.

Oh and mine are replicas. But thanks for the compliment

Those 19'' wheels wont fit unless they have excessive negative camber.

angrypancake, thanks for the photos. Geez, looks like they barely fit. I am worry because I still have the stock suspension.

they will fit fine but u have to lower the car so the wheels are tucked neatly in the fender otherwise u will have the rollerskate look (gay)

these all sit too high and look silly.. need to be dropped at least another inch.

sacrifice the ride comfort, performance, reason and um, extra money.


What the hell is wrong with a seventeen inch wheel.

Or the stock ones.

If they don't fit i make 'em fit... Taking a break from E34's for a bit and fixing my E36 but i am about to snatch up a set of Staggered Hartge Classic 3pc from a friend of mine at the junkyard for 300 dollars, 20x9 front, 20x10 rear.
Only problem is i am missing one of the front wheels, but in either case i can buy one for 1000 and this way i have them for the next E34. Guys are fitting 20's on e46's now, tire fitment is just an issue of correct camber, rolling fenders and possibly wheel spacers

I believe the wheels in question are the Hamann PG1's ^

The original poster is talking about those multispoke wheels, right? Those things are usually $$$! They should look awesome as long as the car is lowered.
