: Hey there!

: Anyone know if a set of 18x8.5 5x120 Bolt Pattern
: and a 15ET offset fit my 97' 528i?

: What type of rubber recommended??

: I will be lowering the car Appx 1.4"

: How wide of a tire can I go without rolling the fenders?

: Thanks

: Skinny

The tire size should be a 235/45R17 with the 8.5 wheel. The 245/45R 17 would probably need to roll the fender or add negatve camber to the rear. This should fit your car with no problems. If I can help with the tires let me know. Thank you Jim 800-428-8355 ext 364
