Bastien, just out of interest, how much is it ship wheels to the UK from Germany?

[Dr.AK]

Depends, are we talking with or without tires?

Without tires it can probably be done for roughly ~90-100€ for a typical set of wheels up to like 18" and not exceeding 15kg per wheel.

With tires I'd have to check for exact measures and weights.

Probably without tyres. I've been checking German eBay the past couple days haha

Buy my Bugattis. Just put them up for sale here. Got no use for them anymore sadly. Were perfect for the 5, but too small for the 7. And not wide enough for my pulled arches on the 3.

I saw, that's why I asked haha. They look surprisingly good on the E36. How much do they poke compared to the Style 32's?

[Dr.AK]

10mm more compared to 8x17 ET20s and pretty much the same as 9x17 et22s, 0.7mm less. Ideal tire sizes for E36 would be 205/40 or 195/40 I think. 45s if you want some more sidewall.

[Minuki]

That's what I thought. Ideally, I'd like a bit more poke after the 32's. But we'll see what I can get my hands on. Those Throwing Stars that sold the other week were almost perfect sizing

[Dr.AK]

Get my Bugattis and widen them.

Make them into 9s and 10s

[Minuki]

Is it not a struggle to fit 10's on the rear of an E36?

[Dr.AK]

Not if you're willing to do some fender work. You can fit 10s with an ET of 30-35 pretty easily with only rolled fenders, I think. Might be able to get away with even less if you manage some 10s with a higher ET, but I'm doubtful they'll clear the shock.

For the usual 10x17 ET19s you'll need a pull. My 9.5s with ET13 sit pretty much the same as a 10 with Et19.

buy them, wait for bas to come to uk meet, pic them up from him



i hope i can pick up the wheels next weekend, are they in your way, if so, i'm gonna do everything i can to pick them up this weekend

[Dr.AK]
