I might be asking a lot here but I love these wheels.



I have them on my current 528. I've heard of 5 series wheels fitting on the F32 so I'm amusing the same would be for the F33. Since the 7 series fits on the 5, 7 series will fit on the 3?

19 x 8.5 front ET 25
19 x 9.5 rear ET 39

The worry I guess would be that 9.5 in the rear.

What do you guys think about fitment?

Using this tool http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

Its telling me things will be acceptable for most cars. Using tires

Front: 235/40/19
Rear: 255/35/19

What else might I need to worry about? In the rear this wheel is an 1in wider. Its telling me Suspension clearance is the same on both but front will stick out .6in and .4in in rear. What do you guys think?

You can likely go up to 265 in the rear.

All I can think of is how annoying and difficult it will be to clean those wheels.

Actually the 8.5" ET25 will be a bigger "issue". It is quite agressive, especially on stock suspension.

What do you mean by issue? Like fit in the front? Could you be more specific? I just ordered this car. I'm really hoping these will fit. I'm loving this look

It will fit as it is pretty much equal to a 9" ET30 that I have. But on stock suspension it will be outside the fender and I personally thinks it looks stupid. Even when lowered with coilovers my fronts are a few mm outside the fender. No rubbing or anything, just looks bad.

Agreed with Rossifumi. The front wheel will be sticking out past the fender with that offset. The rear on the other hand will look pretty flushed.

Timefor, I am with you. Love the look of that wheel but instead of taking a chance, have you seen the Kelleners wheels. Very similar look and they come in the correct offset.

I guess I'll have to stick them on and see for myself how much they stick out. I ordered the car but won't get it in my driveway until Sept. I have these wheels now on my current 5 and was hoping to recycle them opposed to buying new. My backup plan is to just trade someone the M-Sport 441 for the stock 416's that come on Luxury line.

My front's currently stick out slightly on my 528i. It looks just like that photo of the red car above. I'm used to it but any more than that and I would agree it looks off.

Thanks for your help. It will be awhile before I can test it but I think its worth trying.

The red car is my car.

So that is how your wheels will look if you slam the car with coilovers of H&R Super Sport springs. On stock suspension it will be about 10mm more outside the fender. But as you said, you will/can see for yourself when you get the car but my bet is that you won't like it at all. Especially since it is only the fronts that will stick out and not the rears.

Thank you for your help. 10mm would be too much. I think I'll consider something else.
