    Checked them with the chart in the offset thread, unless its wrong.

    Which I was just told it is for a 3 peice wheel. so I have no idea about the offsets then.

    --------------------

    I also refuse to down size in tire. This car handles very well, I don't want to compromise that.

    I may just leave it as is. it does look damn good. The wheels are also going to be refinish soon.

        I'm going to Richards later today to roll the lip of front fenders and see about flaring out the rear a hair to then grind them down and buy spacers.

            No, I'm not putting 215s on a car that handle a 275 in the front and a 295 in the rear.

            The front fenders got rolled and flared a bit yesterday, so now it's just looking for the right spacer.

            The rear I found the rubbing, going to cut the metal out and also space it out. Rim is going to be flush with the fender lip.

            Next task, refinishing wheels. Color and rim screw color?

                      Some of you guys need to realize that the e39 is not a VW, and would actually look bad with that skinny of a tire. It'd look like bicycle tires on the huge sedan.

                          My tires aren't over sized, they're the proper size for the rim and they roll nicley. I lowered the car even more this week and it looks very good now.

                          I may not space them out, just leave them as is.

                          Thats what I **** about the skinny tires, they don't belong on such wide rims. It doesn't look right.
