montreal red · 06-27-2007, 01:21 AM

have an 06 e90 325xi...found this on ebay and i am very tempted to get them. just want to make sure that it fits. the offset is 38mm. and they are size 18x8.5. i wont need to do anything to my fender tips would i? also, what tire size would fit these wheels?

Yes they fit, no chance of rubbing. Go with 225/40/18 tires.

Other Option? There's nothing there! You are going to want to run spacers if the rear offsets are 38. So plan on another $100-$150.

Why? OEM are +34. Spacers for 4 mm? Anything +30 to +40 will be fine w/o.

Right, fine without, but if he's looking for the look of what an aftermarket wheel can do, he's gonna want to push the wheels out a little. Of course this is up to each individual.

Not necessarily, it all depends on your combination of suspension, wheel width, tire width, and offset. I would suggest doing a search of other peoples cars. See what you like as far as how the car sits on the wheels.

I think the black wheel looks better personally, I was never a fan of the ACS wheel, expecially a knockoff like the one you posted first.

+1, but i personally dont like those wheels... M6's would look much better.... but as long as you like them, then do it..
