I have 10.5'' AC Schnitzer type 1's 18'' on my e34. and dropped 20mm.

Had to get arches rolled and the camber adjusted. Also had to get the right manufacturer of tyre as the tyre wall cant be too high on the inside. EG Bridgestone were useless but continentals were perfect.

will send pics soon!!


Any updates on this combo? There are a lot of 10" wide rear Hamann's floating around these days. I think they're designed for an E39 body which has more rear fender clearance? I don't think it matters much whether 17's, 18's, or 19's are used as the tire aspect ratio reduces and maintains the same overall diameter. I'd like to install wider rears, but it seems as 9"; is the limit? Or perhaps 9.5"? Does anyone have any successful experience with 10"rears, preferably Hamann as I truly love their style!?
