**Noob question**

I was just wandering what offest, and size of wheel I should run with an Esquiss Rafael(sp?) wide body? I was thinking maybe 19/9.5 all around, however I'm new to purchasing wheels for special applications. What size offset will I need and how do i figure out which size offset I need?

Thanks alot

Generally people with a widebody will run wheels from a 5 series (e39) on their e36.

Stock on a e36 is around +38

Stock on a e39 is around +20.... so that should give you an extra 5/8 to 3/4 inch more poke.......perfect

your welcome, Jim from tire rack will get you some hubcentric rings for the e39 to e36 wheel swap. They are like 20$ / set
