Will these wheels fit a 04 545i?

Front: 19x9 +18
Rear: 19X10.5 +10

Thanks!

The rears will fit if:

1: Roll fenders
2: Pull fenders 5mm
3: Stretch sidewalls on tires (Meaning you'll need to run a 255 tire in the rear)

Won't fit, period! Even a 275 is too stretched on a 10.5" tire. 295 is ideal, assuming you can fit it.

With a 275 tire, you'd still be 16-20mm beyond the widest push acceptable on our cars (without rolling). With rolling, you are stills screwed. Move on!

You can fit a 255 tire on a 10.5" wheel. It will look funny as hell, but that is the only way you're going to fit these and still roll around. That plus the list I provided above.

I used to have a 240sx and I had 17x10.5 wheels on there with 245/30/17 tires. It's drifter style.

Here is a 225 tire on a 10.5:


So it's possible to MAKE them fit.

I have 10x19 rear and ET24, and i had to roll the fenders when using 295 tires, with 10,5 wheel and ET10 (i have 2,07cm more outwards from default, your wheel will be 4,1cm more outwards) you will have problems even with 255 if you dont rise your car for an inch:-P
