Will 1998 3 series 18" wheels fit on my 1991 E34 or will I need hub sentric adapters????
I need a quick answer or I would check the posts.
Thanks in advance!

...and would these look good on a 5er?
Anyone used these before on a 525?
comments please
(looking at buying these used at a great price with tires @ 95%)

the offset for the 3 series is typically +45 to 35mm and the e34 is 20mm , so yes you would need a 25mm adaapter ( hubcentric) and longer wheel bolts. Some have done it but most will tell you to just get the correct wheels for your car. And remember to give the offsets when asking about wheels.

Spacers and longer bolts will cost you @$300. Get wheels for an E34.
