    Talking JIM - What 19" Wheel Size works for '94 325IS ?

    JIM;
    I want to put 19" (or at least 18") wheels on my 94 325IS. I want the same size all around and don't need to go wider than stock if that would require fender roll etc. I've been through the charts and such at Tire Rack and looked through this forum and am still confused about what sizes will work without rubbing. Can you tell me exactly which size wheel and tire size combos will work on my car (including offset)?
    Thanks Very Much!

    The problem is no so much the wheels we show but with the tires that are available. The tires are all taller than the OE tires by about 3/4" in the 19". The wheels will not cause the problem.
    You can give yourself more room by rolling the fender lips or running more negative camber.
    If I can help let me know.
    Thank you

    Jim;
    Will 18's with regular tires fit without mods to prevent rubbing? Or would I need low profile tires?
    Thanks Again;

    18's should fit fine without any fender rolling, but it also depends on how wide you go. Are you planning on lowering the car? If so, you may not want to get 19's and stick with 18's. Even if you get 18's and you slam the car, you may still have to roll the fenders.
