You really need 8" wheels not 8 1/2.I take it that the rear is where your problem is.I make a adapter to kick out the bottom of the shock in rear so that they fit.You also can get rear camber adjusters that will make the top of the tire move in.I run 9" & 245/40 all the way around but it wasn't easy or cheap.
Hi all,

Im trying to figure out whether I can fit my AC Schnitzer wheels. The wheels are 8.5x17 ET 13, and have 235/45/ZR17s on them. However, I do have the Dinan Stage III suspension on the M5, and when I put the wheels on, it looks like a very tight fit. I wont even test drive them it looks so close.

Any ideas or comments?

Thanks,
Paul DeWitt
