Jason, there is a guy who has visited who has 20" rims on his E32 and posted a picture..

He had to do extensive modifications of the front suspension to shoe-horn them into the front wheelwells.

I simply don't think it can be done with rim widths of significant width. I suppose in theory 20" x 5" would fit, but the wagon wheel look is not "in" Ha HA!

Can anyone out there help settle an argument. A friend of mine believes that you should be able to bolt 20" wheels straight on to an E32 but I am not convinced, I reckon they might fit but only after some adjustment to either the suspension or wheel arches or possibly both.
If anyone out there has actually tried or managed to fit 20" rims I would appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance

Jason
