    You'd be squeezing a 315 onto your existing wheels, but they would probably clear (you'll be hitting the fender by about 2mm if they don't. Generally the same offset rule applies to 19" wheels as to 18", Those 305/30/19 might fit perfectly with a 20-22mm offset

    I think I picked the studs up from bimmerworld. Great company to deal with, friends and I always buy from them to support the business.

    OEM turbos from the X5M actually, made by garrett. I'm working on getting some data for them from a connection 'on the inside' but I believe that I've already backed the data out that I will need by comparing compressor and turbine wheels/housings with existing designs.

    Those Apex wheels look sick and very nice every time I see your car...

    Have you scaled them ??? These are the lightest wheels from Apex line Wheels...All guys use them for the track.. I am planing to buy a set for my E24M6er track toy.

    Good to hear from you man, I love the wheels, but haven't had a chance to set them on a scale with tires. Definitely post up here if you want to share them with us! I'm sure it'll be an awesome setup

    Bryson -

    Quick question on a stock height 93 850, I would like to go with 19 Deep Dish rims haven't found the look I am after yet but when you talk about offsets since the rims you are using are closer to the outside wheel and I would like a deep dish look would I be looking for negative offset as opposed to a positive offset.

    Excuse my ignorance on the proper lingo for wheel description...

    I am using this for street use I would like to know what the widest tire I can run with 19" rims , I do not want to do a staggered setup so would like to have all four tires the same width.

    Also what is a good wearing tire for street do not want to rip through tires every 20 K miles.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I am not sure of the offset.
    I has purchased 2 set of rims to make this happen, a 19" set and a 20" set
    the front rim is 9" and the rear was originally a 9" but I had it widened to 11"
    I have a 10 mm spacer on the front and a 12 mm spacer on the rear.
