    Default Real quick style 32 fitment confirmation

    Hey guys,

    I just jumped on a set of style 32s for sale over on bimmerforums, you can see them here: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=664729

    I just wanted to quickly make sure that they do fit - I'm 99% sure they will (and that I will need hubcentric rings), but I just remembered that I THINK there were some E39's with different hub bore sizes than others.

    Also, I'm 99% sure that this staggered size will fit my 525i (17x8, 17x9), but again, anyone confirm for sure?

    I just ordered my remanufactured transmission on tuesday, should be here this weekend. At this rate, I just might make it to the NASA HDPE on January 27th!

    All e39's had the 74.8mm bore (except the AWD variants). You'll definitely need those hubcentric rings. They look AWESOME on the e34 too. I'll be picking up some new wheels for my E39, and throwing my 32's on to the e34 eventually

    Like the last poster said, it will fit with hubcentric rings.


    You got a great deal on them. Even after refinishing them you'll be only at about 500 bucks for a really nice set of rims.

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the fitment help - I'll have to order some rings from tirerack or somewhere ASAP.

    Yeah, it seems like a really good deal. I honestly don't think I'm going to do anything with the wheels other than possibly re-finishing them myself. I bought them as wheels that I could take to the track on the E34 and leave the 15's on for when my sister drives the car, but I may just leave the 17s on, they don't look that bad from the picture.

    Oh, and the person agreed to sell them to me, but I don't have them in my hands yet. Probably going to try to pick them up this weekend if I get a chance.

    I have the exact same wheels on my 525i (Style 32's 17x8F & 17x9R).You will need the Hub Centric rings for these wheels. I haven't had any problems with these wheels so far. They are however shod with undersized tires. 225/45x17F & 235/40x17R. They came with the wheels when I bought them about a year ago. By the way I got them for $300 with the tires. Sweet deal off Ebay. I am in the process of reading reviews for a set of new tires. Update to follow as soon as i decide what set of tires to buy.
