I'm New here to the forum and need help. I recently purchased a set of 19" Niche f16's with nitto NT 555 tires (235/35/zr19) online but they are the wrong offset for the car. The back rims sit too far in under the fender. I'm thinking about putting them back for sale but wanted to know would wheel spacers cure this problem and if so what is a good brand? If Not what size rim and tire would fit the best to give the ride that flush look?

 

What are the offsets for the wheels? And I believe that due to your tire size 235/35R19, the overall diameter of your wheel tire may also be slightly small. Did you buy wheels and tires that are meant for a E90?

 

Not sure, like a dummy I purchased used only because they were in great condition and came off a 5 series. Had to learn a lesson the hard way.

 

All the wheels and tires are the same size for all four corners? If they are, it looks like you got wheels and tires for a 3 Series or someone had put smaller diameter wheel/tire combo on an 'xi' 5 Series. 3 Series and 'xi' 5 Series have similar offsets.

 

Yes they are all the same size on the four. Would you suggest selling and starting over or trying the spacers?

 

Spacers may do the trick and I'm sure the wheel/tire experts will chime in here, but if you have the time, money and patience, I'd sell the ones you have and go with a staggered 19" set-up with a proper offset... Just my opinion.

 

Thanks for your help. I think I'm gonna try the staggered set up.

 

Make sure you get the right wheel/tire size this time! If you like the flushed look, try the M5 offset (ET 12 - front and ET 28 - rear) or for that completely flushed look, go with the M6 offset (ET 12 - front and ET 17 - rear). As for tires sizes, it will be 245/35R19 for the front and 275/30R19 for the rear (don't go any bigger on the tires or you run the risk of rubbing). The M5 and M6 offsets will fit your car. Good luck!
