E39 fitment?

[Androctonus]

First off i wanna tell, i am now a proud owner of that E39 wagon, going to pick it up next week, its all payed for and contracts are signed!

Okay thanks guys! i'll see what i find, wanna go for some OZ futura, but those are way over my price range.
It all depends on how much i get for the civic when im gonna sell it.

And while we are at it, how much drop do you guys drop your E39's?
I want to keep it legal tho, because the police and what not are pretty damn aggressive these days. lol

The ones in my sig pic are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 ET 10 or 15 (can't remember) and as you see NOT flush You'll definitely want to go w/ an aggressive offset like Pavel and Exami said.

Sadly I had to sell it before I got the fitment down...

How aggresive setup you want? 9x18 ET15 and 10x18ET25 will fit stock E39 nicely..

If you want aggresive setup well less offset or more wider wheels, i had issue that 9x18 ET15 had about 3mm clearance from front spring..

Here's my oldcars setup 9x18 ET15 & 10x18 ET15

Front from inside

Rear from inside


Outside fitment:



More to fitment about 8x18" on front, i used 8x18" ET0 on front before those wheels and it looks something like this:

+1 what Pavel said....

Mine are 8,5 front... And looks pathetic without minimal 20 mm spacers..

Sorry, first, english is not my first lanuage. Second, where did i misspell anything?




Okay, thank you!
But you would suggest going wider up front?

I personally would highly suggest going with 9.5/10 front and 10.5/11 rear. Perfect fitment, no rubbing.

Try spelling words correctly when searching, that'll bring up more hits. There's tons of info around for these cars

Hope that helps

I think on 8 & 10 your offsets should be -50 front and -12 rear.

Hi!


I have searched for a bit now, and i cant seem to find anything.
So, most likely i'm going to be a owner of a lovely E39 wagon (if the bank says yes to a car loan today), and offcourse, i cant leave it stock.
Want to have some 18x8/10 on it, but i have NO clue what so ever on what offset i should go with to make it flush.

This is the car im going for btw
