I purchased a set E31 8-Series M-System II "Throwing Star" Wheels for my '95 E34 5-Series. I assumed all "Throwing Star" Wheels were the same and didn't know about the difference in offset until I found this very informative post:

My question:

The E34 5-Series: M-System II "Throwing Star" Wheels have a 20 mm offset in the front (8 X 17) and a 22 mm offset in the rear (9 X 17). The E31 8-Series M-System II "Throwing Star" Wheels have a 10 mm offset in the front (8 X 17) and a 19 mm offset in the rear (9x17). What do I need to have for the E31 wheels to work with my E34 BMW? What damage, if any, could I do to the tires if I install the E31 wheels on my E34?

Please help. These wheels were just refinished and I'd hate to have to sell them and wait for the opportunity for the E34 wheels, a rear commodity, to become available again.

Thanks in advance,

David
