will 530i SP rims fit 325i ?

nhhiep · 10-27-2006, 03:42 PM

I know a guy (on Craigslist) who is trying to sell me the rims from a 530i SP, 245 / 40 R 18 for $500 .. how is this deal?

I don't know much about rims/wheels. but I know that I like the look of bigger/wider wheels. It looks like the rims is Styling 123

I have 06 325i non-sport, will this fit or do any damage to my alignment/suspension? I keep hearing about wheel offset, but clueless of what it means.

Read about offset here

The 530i wheels look to be star spoke 123, they are 18x8 and offset 20. That's a pretty low offset (will stick more out) compared to your OEM. I think the front wheel will stick too much out on your car.

Ok, I did the calculation and it says " 1mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 27mm" . What does it means? will it rub the car? or extend an extra 27mm is too much?

Thanks, sorry I am so new to rims/wheels

It probably fit on the rear, but not the front.

rear might be ok, but is still aggressive.

way too aggressive for the front.

One member had them on his 325 Non-SP car about year ago... He claimed he didn't have any rubbing issues, however the fronts stuck out way too much. I'm betting he had rubbing issues with heavy loads...
