Will 15" style 17 rims fit on my 1980 635csi

Post by Brandon74 »

Does anyone know if 15" style 17 rims will be a good replacement for my 14" bbs. I'm just wondering if I'll need any additional parts to make them work. Thanks

Hmm, could be an issue . . .

According to this linky, these are 3 series wheels and therefore have a lot more negative offset #-o



This means that without huge spacers at least 20 - 25mm, these wheels will foul against the strut towers, brakes, who knows what else :-k

Please check and find out if they were from a 3er or not :-?

I think you can find wheels that will look better, fit appropriately, and for the same price if you look on the forums or local craigslist...
