Re: Will these rims work?

It doesn't give you the center bore so there's no way to tell for sure. Offset looks good, you'll need a big spacer in the rear though.

bmw center bore should be fine on our trucks. the offset should be cool too, just need spacers in the rear. i have the billet 1.25" spacers in stock if you end up needing them.

I've always thought that too until a couple days ago a guy came in with a 5 series BMW and was complaining of a vibration problem. He had a wheel that looked alot like an M5 wheel on the car, even though it wasn't an M5 car. Long story short, the center bore was too small and they weren't sitting on the hub correctly.

Should work, same deal needs a big adapter in the rear.

They recommend a 225, because those wheels are for a BMW ( more specifically a 3 series ) and 225 would be a better fit for the car in general. You can run a 245 on them just fine.

Same deal as the other ones, they don't list a center bore size, so they could be too small and you'll have to open it up to make them fit or they're too large and could cause a vibration problem.

yeah, if the car was a 1997 - 2003 5-Series, that would certainly be true. Those cars have a 74mm center bore, where as almost every other BMW ever made has a 72.5mm center bore.

Re: Will these rims work?

yes they would fit on the Bmw but i was going to put them onto a Different car with the same bolt pattern and offset would work great for the car. I was just wondering if the center Bore would work. i know the 1997 - 2003 5-Series, have a 74mm center bore, where as almost every other BMW ever made has a 72.5mm center bore. but i dont know the center bore for these wheels.
