Bob G.,

I've been looking to upgrade to either a 16" or 17" and would like to know what the width and offset are of the 17" wheels you have. Did they require any spacers? What size tires did you run? Yes, I've checked the archives, but there's not a whole lot about the 17" sizes. TIA.


...I have two sets of 17" wheels that fit 535i's,with or without tires.Let me know what you're looking for.


The two sets of 17" wheels I have are specifically designed for 5,6,and 7 series cars up to 1997,and require no spacers,etc.They are a direct bolt-on.
One set is the ANTERA 3-spoke design,17x8.5" 14mm offset,covered centers,just coming off my 1985 e28 535i.They are $395 for just the wheels,or $695 with Dunlop SP2000E/ContiSport Contact 235/45/17 tires.
Second set is MODA(BBS) M1's,5-spoke design,17x8.0",$495,wheels only,with tires available,including a set of four Michelin MXX3's in 225/45/17's off of e36 M3's for $295,with or without the wheel purchase.
Hope this answers your questions.
