    Default 19 Wheels

    I was trying to buy some new wheels and the the guy at the counter told me 19's would not fit and recommended 18's. Is this true?? Cause i seen some 19 on e34 before. Does there need to be any modifications??

    19's WILL fit as long as they have the right offset which is 20mm.

    He probably recommended 18's because...

    A.) It's cheaper and easier to find tires for 18" wheels.
    B.) The ride will be much better on 18" depending on where you live and how the roads are.

    RIP Touring...probably never going to drive you again...
