    Hi
    My 840 is set up with 8 1/2 x 18 with ET6 offset on the front. Have had as wide as 265/35 x 18 on the front-now running 245/40 x 18.

    10 x 18 with ET19 offset on the back. Running 285/35 x 18 tires- required some fender rolling.

    To do 19's the offset and widths should be the same. Hubcentric adapters would be needed if the hub center is not the correct size for an E31. Can't remember the number though--getting old I guess.

    Here are offset numbers from the factory 17" wheels
