    Default will these wheels fit on an e34?

    i can get those for 200$ all five. they are off a e38. i kinda like the design, but i never saw them on a e34. seller has no idea about ET or anything, and the only thing i know is that they are 16 inch style 61 off a e38 750il.

    thanks. i'll try on the fronts if i decide to buy them. i'm planning on using 225's on the fronts so i guess they won't rub, but if they do 3mm spacers don't seam like to much spacer. i'll post some pics if i buy them

    It will depend on the specific tire........+18mm is best on a 16" x 8" wheel....perhaps that's why BMW never used 16x8 wheels on an E34.

    if they are the same offset as the common e38 basketweave 16"s they will be very close to the struts but not rub, tire choice will be key in not rubbing, you will need something with a straight sidewall that doesn't bulge out, i ran kumho 712's in 225/55/16" on mine with no problems, but i have seen other tires of the same size rub bad, i tried thin spacers to run fatter tires and got tired of the shimmey as spacers that thin do not have hubcentric extensions to center the wheel
