Well, let's see....ET20 on the fronts, ET32 on the rear. You could throw on 15mm on the rears for max push...to ET17.

And for the fronts, you could put on some 5mm if you like.

Have your folks buy them for you!

yeah right, i wish. im paying for my own mods. I just had my pockets empty from buying 124s and wheels. need i say more.

Seriously, though. Those are the correct sized spacers for your rims. Don't forget the extended bolts as well.

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/subca...mp;subcat_id=93 to purchase spacers and extended lugs.

I guess you could, but you better make sure they are perfectly balanced and don't corrode. H&R's are made of lightweight aluminum/magnesium alloy and are perfectly balanced and hub-centric, with the addition of a hub-lip of its own for your current wheel to fit over.

Just do the rears if price is an issue. 5mm won't make a huge difference in front, but 15mm will in the rear! Just go for it!

p.s. Sorry for the hijacking, gs_535xi

You can also compare it to my 04 525i, but guess what I paid for all my own S*#T, and didnt need mommy and daddy to buy it for. I can't stand arrogant little brats.

lol well thats a nice car you got there.....
maybe mine will be comparable once i get some rims on itt

hey Gs, check out the Classifed section, there are many sellers selling brighter angel eyes for different prices. but the bests are AIB v3 (Angel Eye Bright v3). also check the Group buy for cheaper pricing, but more waiting.

i bought a 535xi fully loaded with everything on it and it looks like the m5, i put dual eisnemann exhasut on also.
the price came to $96,000 includin the gayy 15% tax, canadain with all cash paymentt.. is that a good deall? sounds like alot compared to buying a used 1 that looks the samee.
im gettin it in late august and will put some pics up cant waittttttt. also lookin forwad to tradin it in in about 5 yearss after university for an a.m. vantagee,,
ne1 know any good rims that would look sick with the white... perferable chrome wit black accents to match interior, 20 inch


fam's ride: yamaha r6 08
acura tl type s
bmw 335i
ford f-150
custom civic

Did I actaully get ripped off for the 535xi
If you go on the Canadian website and go build a 535xi and select mostly every option, it comes out to 86,000 and also add the spoiler and exhaust i got so about 90,000 and thenn add the tax (15%) and it comes out to about 102,000 I think and also the dealer gave me a discount so it came out to $96,000...
