does anyone know if a 2007 M3 rim is compatible on my car? i cam a across someone who has a pair and is willing to sell them to me for really cheap.

thanks

Doesn't look promising.

It looks like the 19" wheels have offsets of 23 and 29. The 18" wheels have offsets of 20.

I was looking on www.realoem.com and looked under e92 M3 for 2007.

You need offsets more in the upper 30's to low 40's.

thanks for the quick response. what will happend if they offset isn't correct can you put spacers or anyway to modify without messing the cars performance?

 

I have an 09 xi and I run 19's, 9.5 in the rear and 8.5 in the front. My offsets are +35 in the front and +40 in the rear. You need to be looking for those offsets. I've heard that stock (non-m) e90/e92's are also compatible with our cars. Hope this helps

Yes spacers can help, but not all the time.

 

No! Spacers will not help the case at all. M3 wheel offsets are too low for an X model E60, and putting spacers will make the offset even lower!

Let us take an example. If the needed offset was 40 and the offset of the desired wheel was 30, putting 10mm spacer would make the wheel offset 20 and it would stick 20mm too much out of the wheel well.

Right which is why I said they can help, but not always. They can help if you are you are a few mm off, but not always, as in, not in this case. Guess I could have been clearer.

 

That's cool .

 

And to add to what they're both saying, even if you're going in the right direction, you want to be careful with spacers on BMW's. For some reason, these cars seem to be VERY sensitive to spacers. People seem to have lots of trouble with vibration when using spacers or rings.

It's one of the reasons I'm making sure my offsets are right (and I don't need hubcentric rings) when I buy rims for my car.

By the way, Rkhettry, you're inspiring me with your car. Very nice colour, and great rim choice - are those VMR's? Your tint is also making me rethink getting it done - looks really nice, especially with the shadowline.

 

Thanks, yea they are the vmr710's staggered 19's....my tint is 20 or 25% i forget

 

can the offsets for both the rear and front be +35 for a 2009 535XI?
