I have a 94 325is and would like to upgrade to the bigger rims and tires.
What size is the best to fit on 94 325is and what brands are decent prices to purchase? Or anyone would like to sell their rims to me? I am in Bayarea, CA.
Thanks..

You can go all the way up to 20" on the e36, but that is pushing it. You just need to make sure that offset is ok and that the tire wheel combo will fit. For example, I have 19 X 8.5 with a 38mm offset. Fits fine on stock suspension as long as I have run 225/35/19 on the front. I have 235/35/19 out back. For the e36, I have seen that as long as the offset is 35-40mm you should be ok. Only risk you have is making sure that the tires in back are so wide on a tall rim that it will rub the fender lip. Here's a good tool to match tire heights.

BBS, HRE, Work, SSR, Forgeline, etc. and anything in 17 X 8 or 17 X 8.5 would be optimal for your car performance wise.

All your answers are a search away!

We have a lot of wheel options in the 17". All of them are higher quality wheels that will work great on the BMW. Just take a look and see if there is anything you like.
If I can help let me know.

You talking to me or Jim? Seeing as though you are in California, your roads are probably alot better than they are here in Massachusetts, which gets my vote for the worst roads in the country, you can go with a higher diameter rim.
