New e34 owner needs some help.

[ska-texas]

Hi Y'all. Just bought a 1992 535i and would like to fix it up. Any feedback on the right Angel Eyes to puchase and I just puchased some 19" wheels and tires off of Ebay they look like they came off a later 90's 7-series. The guy did say he had the hub rings for them and would include them in the shipping. I'm sure I'll have more questions so any assistance would be most appreciated.

Both E32 and E38 are 72.5mm, so why do you need hubrings?
What is the ET? And if the tires are from an E38, they probably will not fit on the E34.
What exactly is written on the wheels and the tires? ET?

Angel Eyes: use search on top right with eyes as keyword and you have much to read.

Qube is the resident headlight expert.. ask him for advice on what eyes to buy

beware, 19" wheels negatively effect handling on an E34.

the eyes to get are Depo projectors.

Thanks for the reply,
The guy that had them up for bid on ebay said he had rings and would inclued them. The add read BMW 19" W/Toyo Tires e34,e38,e39,e60,e65 so I'm hoping I did not just waste my $$$$$$.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you I will ask him. I do keep hearing the word Depot though.
Thank you again.

When you say negatiely, what have you heard.
Let me Know.

if you havent upgraded the rest of the suspension it puts a lot of stress on it and causes components to fail. the patch of rubber on the ground is the wrong shape and size, which depending on the width of the tires, can cause oversteer and understeer in an uncontrollable fashion.

Thanks for the info. Since I did already purchase the wheels and tire I will upgrade the springs/ struts also. I'll get some before and after photos as this project gets going.

i'm anxious to see what 19" wheels look like on your car. would you mind posting the link to the auction? what kind of wheels are they?
