I recently purchased a 1989 635CSI with original wheels. I need to know if I can substitute 16x8 BMW wheels from a 5 series on my car. The part number according to bmwwheels.com is 182 277. Basically I'm trying to find 16x8 BBS style/look wheels. I've attached a link to the picture of the rims I'm thinking of purchasing. Thanks in advance for your input.


Don't know the part number, but these look like the 740 wheels I have on my car. O.K. with Dunlops SP 8000 at 225X50X16 with a trace rub on the front struts. Wheel ET=23MM. Different tires=different rubs. Some manufacturers tires are a bit wider and some a bit narrower.

HTH
