In Reply to: Whats the verdict on 9" wide rims up front? (more) posted by BobK2 on November 18, 2000 at 13:56:00:


Hello all,
Still nit-picking over what rims im going to put on my M635. One particular wheel I really like are the 17" factory 15 spokes, OE on the E34 and E39 5'ers. The 17x8's are a good fit with a 22mm offset, however the company im dealing with hasn't been able to get any for 2 months (they deal in OE take offs) What they do have, is the same wheel in 17x9 with a 26mm offset. Its my understanding that
11-22mm is the best fit for 6'ers. I really could use some feedback on the fit of 26mm wheels possibly with spacers, and input regarding running 9" wide wheels up front. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestion.
