    wheels and tires questions

    So if i went to autozone and got some spacers for my 95 325i whats the least and thickess i could get on stock rims/wheels. About to get rims painted black to cause car white. car is stock high as in its not lowered. Want get all 4 tires pushed out some, As for rear tires idk havent looked at stock width of tire ie.. 185,205...i wanna go little wider. Textbook says dont go i think what 20 over on a rim thats rated for lets say 185's wide?. Thanks guys, sorry first bmw.

    I feel maybe this thread is missing some aspects. Maybe its just me. But the absolute maximum spacer offset to use is around 75-80mm. Thats any combination of two stacked spacers. Preferably in that case a 60mm non stud and a 20mm studded. In any instance rim et after that will only be in the abailable modified wheel well. Wheel bearing life expactancy drops to half life. (About 20,000 miles). Suspension componants mostly unchanged. I also feel that this thread partains to stock setups and does not accomodate possibilities of tire size changes. Ei, buying these $200 spacers, then a year later buying new tires, and now your wheel spacers are too big. This thread is seriously lacking in areas to lead ppl on a diy $$$ friendly shot at spacers.
    Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.
