    1989 635 csI - WHEELS,TIRES,OFFSETS

    What is the widest tire i can put in the rear and front? What are the perfect offsets? Ive seen some very nice sharks in the sharkfest but cant tell what size of tires and offset they have.
    Im looking to buy used wheels from craigslist.com..any specific bmw models interchangeable with my shark?

    The stock offset is around 19-22, so as long as you get wheels that are about a 20 offset or less, you should be fine.

    Check out this collection of E24's and their rims! Quite a few Sixers in the slide show. http://www.pacificsharkfest.com/pics/image179.html

    I was contemplating Style 95's for a while, then I decided 19's are too much.

    19's are just a little too big for a SIX, although I have 18's on my 88 M6. Personally, the style 95's flush/no lip design and spokes that extend the entire width of the wheel just don't appeal to me. They just don't match the sporting characteristics of the E24 coupes. Suggest going with deep dish rims, especially in the rears if running a staggered setup!
