Does anyone have the ring size to request from Tire Rack when fitting the 16x8 style 5 rims to the E34?

Thanks in advance.

Style 5s are 17 inches. Are your wheels from an e38 or e39. They both have wheels with a mesh pattern in those sizes.

shouldn't need centering rings. the e39 wheel bore is the only one that's different. e38 should be fine.

check the part number on the wheel to be sure whether they are E39 or E38.

If rings are required they will gap 72.56 - 74.1 mm

Will do though I personally took them off a E38 at the Man Mall.

cool (although it wouldn't be the first time "ringless" wheels were installed on a BMW).
