I was looking for cheaper rims and came across these, http://www.tiresdelivered.com/prodde...=KM12788552338 , i was wondering if the offset 38, and bolt patter of 5x120 will fit my e90, stock non sport suspension.
thanks

I think the CSL reps...the 19" AZA Z-15s are cheaper at $676 p/set(wheelmax).. and better looking. Was just looking at them ... they're even cheaper than the ASA AR-1s.

[325 Baller]

so no one knows if they will fit?

[325 Baller]

Anyone?

[voltron1011]

That link isn't working right now...

[325 Baller]

damn heres the picture,

http://www.wheelpros.com/brands/inde...2&pid=289&pg=1 tell me if that works

[325 Baller]

it says offset +10 to +38? im not sure what all of that means lol and it says there 18x8.5 will that fit?

[dkizerian]

what's wrong with just staying on the stock wheels till you can afford wheels YOU like?

[voltron1011]

325Baller, those rims will probably fit with no problem. I suggest you send those guys an email and verify what the center-bore is on those. BMW's have 72.5 centerbore. If you mismatch centerbores then you will have some serious vibration issues. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much voltron1011, dkizerian, Its not that i dont like these wheels I do more then any 3k wheel ive looked at yet, I was just saying dont get on my case because their cheap, sorry for the misleading info. Can anyone recommend a tire size or should i ask the company that also

[ctgazer]

i would say 18's if ur planning on dropping the car..20's if ur not. u will prolly need spacers if you go with the et38, cause the et10 is just way too much...

what about 72.6 that is what my wheel says, I don't understand it though, he said they would be smooth.

et38 et10?

[tl_boy]

ASA's are better quality though. Not to knock the CSL's, they look great, but different technology.

I emailed the company KMC, im awaiting a reply.

325 Baller, Let me try and explain this to you. The 38et and the 10 et is the offsets that the wheels come in. The 38et is bassicly what the stock offset. What the offset is the distance from the center of the rim to the hub. The less you have the more the wheel will stick out. The e90's can handle a offset almost to 25et without rubbing. That why some of these guys are talking about spacers. The more the tire sticks out the more aggressive it looks. So yeh a 38et would be fine with maybe a 10mm or 12mm spacers.

Here is some info from tirerack.



The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types.

Zero Offset

The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive

The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative

The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly. We have test fitted thousands of different vehicles for proper fitment. Our extensive database allows our sales staff to offer you the perfect fit for your vehicle.

325baller, those rims would fit ur car just fine i believe
anyway good luck

[325 Baller]

it comes it anywhere from 10 - 38, so would like a 32 be agressive?

72.5 is the size of hub side, where-as 72.6 is the size of wheel side. That will work..

Can someone recommend a tire and like the details of the tire that i will need so i can gather together a price list so i know how much i will need?

[325 Baller]

or even better can someone explain to me what it means by 205/16-55? Thats just an example. Thanks

205 = the width of the tire.
16 = the size of the rim in inches
55 = the sidewall profile. this is measured as a percentage of the first number. So, on the standard rims, the sidewall's profile is 55% of the width (205).

Obviously you want lower profile tires, so the last number needs to be lower.

If you go to tirerack.com and punch in your car info, and then click on 'wheels.' It will pretty much walk you through the entire process. Just find some rims that are similar to the one's you want (ie 19x9 and 19x10). 'Add them to the cart and shop for tires' them on the car and then you can have the site recomend proper tires.

If price is important to you.... Go with Kuhmo tires. They are really good for the money.
