Make sure you minus size your tires at least 2 inches, rims need to be two wide for the tire you use, which should be a whitewall. BTW, the wider the whitewall the better the effect. And finally you'll need hydraulics, I think the weight distribution will go to S?#!@t with all those batteries in the truck.

If you want to low rider buy a Chevy !!

P.S. Don't forget the fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview, and lastly the little stuffed dog with the head that bobs on the hatrack.

i would buy a Chevy but i live in australia and they cost a whole lot more than u think so
na i wasn't gonna put hydros on the bimmer only the wheels
so the rest of the bimmer looks like a m535i but i would like the wheels

Andrew,

There could be alittle cultural thing you may not understand. Lowrider / Ghetto - Here in the U.S. the only guys that buy these wheels, which by the way are very expensive, are the Lowrider/Ghetto/Gang Banger crowd.

I don't know what wires would look like on a 5'er. Stay with standard sizes if you insist on going this route. For the money, you could probably buy genuine 3 piece forged wheels from a number of wheel manufacturers.
