I know the rims I want.. but only 19s - BMW Forum

Would a 19" rim fit on the Bimmer.. '99 328i - While I want them they are
far off as far as monetary abilities are concerned. But better to ask now
then later.

since thats an e46, itll fit easily, youll need a 35 series tire if your running 19x8 all around, or a 30 if your 19x8.5 i believe....go with 19x8 in the front and 8.5 in the back if possible, but 19x8.5 is alright all around

you can run 19" x 8.5 " all the way around without rolling fenders... anything more and it's time to whoop out the baseball bat or a wooden dowel...

You can run 235/35/19 TOPS before you rub...

u can only fit 19x8.5 if the offset is correct. i know 5Zigen makes primarily FWD offset wheels, so u may be out $250-300 more if u gotta buy some hub-centric spacers and longer lug nuts.

Hmm.. thnx for the replies. I know there were a few people putting these on
their 350Zs so I imagine those specific rims would have a decent offset availability.
Heck.. so much for rims.. for that price I might be able to get some 18's HREs...
ok, maybe that's going too far.

I dig 'em too... my first idea was some 18" HRE rims... i think 845s but it's 4k for the rims and then tires are going to eat a hole in my wallet. The entire 19" set of those are 3099 or some. If work goes how it's supposed to that won't be a problem. Anyhow, it's a ways off... I want to get some tint, software and intake first.

I'm not a chrome guy either; especially on a silver car. But I might go for the dark chrome otherwise it's just silver. Certain cars will look good with chrome wheels just nothing too gaudy. To each his own.
