I am looking to buy nice rims for about 2 mounth now. I am very picky and have my own European taste. And the only wheels I like are usually for 5 series or with ET20 or even lower.
I saw some E36 cars wearing rims with ET9 and ET3!!!
I know it's crazy and it's KILLING all your suspension.
But what do you need to do to fit those rims with lower ET? The lower ET the more of the rim is sticking out, right? Cause I know spacers are reducing ET.
My car is E36 325i Coupe.
Please, explain me this, somebody.:rolleyes
Thanks.

Usually rolled and pulled fenders, and smaller than normal width tires

Well, I've seen guys driving bimmer with normal stock fenders (no fender work done), but I actually saw their pics, saw them working on suspension, kind of moving suspension to other way. It's hard to describe.
Is anybody running rims with lower ET offset than 35 in this forum?
Any pics? Details?

Spacers will only make them stick out even further. Despite what most people will tell you, it can be done, will look great and IMHO improve handling because of the wider stance. I've had 4 Bimmers and ran 5 series wheels with a 20mm offset on three of them. Here's what you need to do: First, You will most likely need hubcentric reducers. The centerbore on e39 wheels is 74mm while the centerbore on e36's is 72.56mm, I like the alloy ones, but plastic will work just fine. Secondly, you should run a slightly narrow tire, I'm running 215/40/17's. And finally, you more than likely will have to roll the fenders. Especially if the car is lowered. This should be done once you've already installed the wheels, so you have some sort of reference as to how much the fenders will have to come out. Fender rolling isn't as difficult as everyone makes it seem. Eastwood makes a good quality fender roller that sells for about $200-$250 or you could probably rent one for $50. It takes about 30 minutes per wheel. You should also use a heat gun to preheat the fender to prevent the paint from cracking. I'm running style 42's on my 318ti but they're off right now pending a lip polishing and fender roll. I'll have pics in a few days.

If you don't want to push the wheels out further w/ spacers, you'll need hubcentric rings to fill the gap between your 72.6mm hub bore and 74.1mm E39 hub bore. TireRack has them.

Hey there, Sorry for not replying sooner. Both of those wheelsets are sweet and would look great on the e36. The first set is made by Rondell and are pretty high quality from Germany. But they're a little spendy for me. Here's the wheels I'm working with right now:
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q122/cooljess76/62a5d424.jpg
These are style 42's from an e39. I'm in the process of stripping the paint off of them and polishing the lips. I'm going to leave the inner mesh part bare aluminum with a pitted texture from sandblasting and coat them with a few coats of high temp clear so that the brake dust doesn't stick. I bought my hubcentric reducers on ebay. It's hard to find the alloy ones as they don't come around very often. I paid $12 for them. However, they do sell the plastic/nylon rings which are slightly cheaper but work fine. Try searching "e36 hubcentric" on ebay but be sure to get 74mm outer, 72.56mm inner. As far as wider rear tires go, I wouldn't stagger them for a few reasons. First, the wheels are already going to be a tight fit as is and this would only complicate fittment. Secondly, the performance isn't really enhanced and since most low profile tires are directional, rotating them will be even more of a PITA since you would have to remove the tires from the rims and remount and balance every time as opposed to being able to atleast swap wheels from front to back. Atleast this way you'll only have to remove them every other time. And last, The wider tire will be a larger overall diameter since the sidewall height would be 40% of the width (245mm) on a 245/40/17 vs. 40% of 215mm on a 215/40/17. If by chance you want to stagger them anyway, I'd recommend running a lower profile on the wider tire for example: 225/40/17 fronts & 245/35/17 rears. This would help even out the diameter, but keep in mind that it's really going to be tough squeezing them into the fenders since the wheel offset is so low. Hope this helps, best of luck to you.

It's so bad, man. I can't find the wheels I want to buy. If I get an eye on ones, I can't get them, cause they are out of production. Another ones are with low offset.
I want wheels with a lip and spokes and it's just impossible to find some to buy.
Would you recommend running E39 wheels with hubcentric rings and pulled out fenders?

To fit ET20 rims you wouldn't have to do anything... IF your rims were only 6" wide! :D Seriously though, ET20 is two-thirds of an inch further out than ET38 (standard offset for E36).

First of all, how wide are the rims you want to get? Everyone is giving you advice on what to do, but no one is asking what size of rims you are looking at (the link you posted was in German, no problem, but it didn't list the wheel width on the specs).

Secondly, what type of suspension do you have? You can get away with a lot more with your car only lowered 1" than you can with your car lowered 2". You can also run more negative camber to assist with fender tuck.

Wussup?Actually the wheels he posted were by Rondell and staggered 17X8.5 and 17X10. The wider wheels probably wouldn't fit unless he went widebody, and the 17X8's will fit with a fender roll. Take a look at post# 4 in this thread, I've used 17X8 5 series wheels with et20 offset on 3 of the 4 Bimmers I've owned. All that's required is a fender roll and a narrower tire 215/40/17. The link I've posted just above yours shows a 318ti with OEM 5 series wheels and it's lowered at least 2" if not more. They are 17X8 style 5's with an et20 offset. It can be done to look really nice. It just takes a little work. IMO I think it looks even better than the standard et38.

17x8 would be no problem.

I am looking at doing 18x9.5, ET23 myself (the rims I pictured). Some neg camber, a nice big fender roll/stretch, and some stretched tires (255/40 on 9.5" rims).

Inside clearance is not an issue, but they are about 2.25" wide than my stock 15x7 rims. I think I have just short of 2" of room without a fender roll. I'm going to see if it works. :)

Best of luck, those wheels will look great! I'm almost finished polishing my style 42's. I got a great deal on them, but they needed to be stripped down and refinished. As soon as I mount my tires on them, I'll be doing a fender roll since my car sits really low. I mounted a wheel on the front of my car without a tire to show my roomate what it will look like and it stuck out about an inch. I found another e36 with wide wheels.

Thanks! I am doing mine after I get my camber/caster adjustment plates for the front, and adjustable rear trailing arms for the rear. That will I can dial in enough neg camber to assist with the fit. Inside clearance won't be a problem; they will be in the same spot as my current 15x7s.

And yes, they will be THE SHIT. If it's doesn't work, I'll just sell them and get some slightly smaller wheels. :)

Well, as I said before, I want to run 215/40/17 front and 245/40/17 rear tyres. Wheels? I don't know, probably 8x17 front and I am not too sure about the rear 8.5 or 9.5, cause I don't think I am going to fit 8x10.
Basically, I want Rondell Type 21, but every seller is saying it is just for E39 and I tell them "I don't give a sh**, just sell them to me".
That's why I want to make sure I am able to run them.
My suspension is stock, but I am going for adjustable coilovers in summer. Would adjustable RLCA help me dealing with lower offset somehow?

My eyes are on these ones at the moment, Rondel Type 21:

They are listed in the E39 section under 18" Staggered set-ups. I've talked to them before; they'll do all four in 9.5" if you want (the ones with the FAT ASS lip). I think they are about $750 for the set of four. Good quality too!

Nope, I'm a lazy bastard. Edge told me to buy 6 pack, get a box cutter, start slicing, start picking on it, and after about two hours or more I should be good to bring it back to get it rolled. I sat in an awkward position (no lift =( ), I gave it 10 minutes and called it a day. I'm jus going to buy smaller tires later on... It only rubs when I have passengers in the rear. My rear tires are 255/40/17, so my car's officially a two seater until I get smaller tires. Only some bmw's come stock with inner fender molding, I guess I'm the unlucky few.

Et20 as far as I know.
e36 wheels generally have an offset of 35-41mm, while e39 wheels generally have an offset of 18-23mm. Its really not much of a difference if you think about it (only 20mm) but you also have to consider that the wheels are more than likely going to be about an inch wider ie. 17X7 vs. 17X8, 17X9.5 etc. As far as hubcentric adapter rings go, well the e39 has a centerbore of 74mm while the e36 has a centerbore of 72.56mm. Fitting e39 wheels on an e36 is easy since you could just use the hubcentric reducers and possibly roll the fenders. Fitting e36 wheels to an e39 would be more difficult as you'ld need to have each wheel machined to a 74mm centerbore and the wheels might rub on the suspension unless you use wheel spacers. When buying wheels you should ask what diameter the centerbore is and also the offset. 72.56/et35-41=e36, 74/et18-23=e39. Don't forget that the rim width is also a factor.

ET20? So it's E39 wheels. Yup, you will need hubcentric rings to be able to run E39 wheels. And yes, roll fenders and rear wheel should be 35-40 of hight, not higher. Actually, I am not sure about 45 hight, you might stretch even that one.

I'm always amazed by how many people will use the term "spacers" in topics about fitting e39 wheels to an e36.

If you would want e36 wheels on your e39, then you'll need spacers.

To fit a lower offset wheel...what you absolutely don't use is spacers!!

As another tip, you might be able to have the hub machined down if there's enough metal.
Will get the wheel more inside the arch.

They may have been referring to the hubcentric ring reducers as spacers. But you're right, when using an e39 wheel on an e36, you definately don't want to bring the wheel out anymore than it already will be by adding spacers. The main issue will be the difference in centerbores of the wheels. As far as machining the brake rotors down, that's a BIG NoNo. For starters, the wheel barely has enough clearance from the brake calipers and you'll risk serious damage and brake failure if it rubs. Secondly, the brake rotor hat also dissapates heat and by removing surface area from where the wheel makes contact, you'll more than likely overheat your wheels and possibly blow tires as the pressure increases. This is why rolling your fenders is the only logical option when using oversized wheels. Renting a fender roller costs about $50 and an hour of your time. Machining your rotor hats down will not only be exspensive and time consuming, but will also destroy your brake calipers, rotors, wheels and possibly tires. Add all of those parts up and tell me which is a better option.
Read my previous post, it's spoken from experience and is very clear.

BTW, don't even think about machining the inside of the wheel down to bring it in!!! Doing this will reduce the material between the lugs and the brake rotor. The wheels intergrity will be weakend and can possibly break off if you hit a bump! Not to mention, the issue of the caliper hitting the wheel.

You are both right, guys.
I am looking for somebody to roll my fenders and probably to pull them out a bit. Cause I am going to fit 10x17 rim with 245/35/17 tyre on the back of my bimmer. I know it's very wide, but I know it is doable. But I live in Ireland and car tuning is not so popular as in US. So it's very hard to find a good garage to do the work for me and it will be bloody expensive.

Yeah, but I have never rolled fenders before, don't even know how to do it properly, I know you need a special roller and heater to keep your paint on.
My suspension is stock, but I am going to buy adjustable coilovers in summer, so I would be able to adjust my hight whenever I need or change my wheels.
How did you do that? And how difficult is it?

After I put the wheels on, I drove around the neighborhood a couple of times and let the tires rub. Then I jacked the car up and removed the rear wheels. The paint was worn where the fender made contact with the tires. I then took a small block of wood, placed it on the areas that needed clearance and beat it with a hammer. There was no need to roll the whole fender, just the areas where it rubbed. From the outside, of the wheel well, you can't even tell it's rolled. The rear tires are tucked up in there really nice and it looks perfect. If you do this, just be sure that the block of wood is only touching the fender lip before you strike it. If it's resting against the inside of the fender, you'll end up with a protruding dent. It's pretty easy, it took about ten minutes per fender and I nailed it on my first try. No more rubbing, no exspensive tools needed, just safety glasses, patience and an accurate/steady hand.

Awesome set up! I love those rims. Are those OEMs or replicas?

Thanks Mendi, Yeah they're reps. I didn't really care though since I bought them on ebay for $175, the price was right! They were in really bad shape with curb rash, chips, scratches, oxidation and a couple small bends. The bends were barely noticable and they balanced out perfectly. I spent about a month restoring them. Just a little here and there and they finally came together. I polished the lips to a mirror like finish but they became dull again when I masked the wheels before painting, and after mounting and balancing the tires. I'll give it another go this weekend with the air dye and buffing wheel. They'll shine back up again pretty easily.

It is European look, when wheels are out of the fender. I don't like Us look, when wheels are hidden under the fender:)

I've got a question for suspension proffesionals. Can you help to your low offset by having adjustable Lower Control Arms?
