    E32 wheels advice needed

    Hey guys I'm new to the board. I want to run some style 33s on my 88' E32. Will they fit? If so anyone have any pics of a bronzit beige color e32 or e34 with 33s to see how it looks. Taking them off a 5 series I believe a E39. Thanks in advance for the help. :-)

    The E39 used a 74.1mm center bore whereas your car is 72.56 - you will at the bare minimum need adapter spacers

    It is pretty common to see hub-centric spacers used in this situation. Is the offset reasonably close on style 33s compared to standard e32 wheels? I would think it would be pretty close as you see people put style 37 wheels on e32s, e38s, e39s, e31... so I suspect what you want to do will work.

    I will move the thread to the E32 forum, anyway: what will fit http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Upgrad...ls_upgrade.htm
    E39: pay special attention
    If you want to use E39 wheels (hub center = 74mm) you will need hubcentric rings (parts# A670 from tirerack
