17x9.5 ET13 rears on a E36?

[Sebbe]

Found some sweet wheels that I really like, but I'm unsure if I will be able to pull them off. Well I do know it's possible, but I'm not ready to do MASSIVE arch work. Do you think that by simply rolling the rear fenders I could get enough clearance to run them without rubbing. A local shop would do the work for me. 215/40 tires sitting on them.

I really hope a good roll will be everything I need.

215/35 tires, camber arms, and rolled fenders and your good

post up some pics of the process, im interested in seeing how these fit as im in the a similar boat. and do it yourself, well maybe not the rolling if your not comfortable with that but the other parts go for it!

You can make them fit with just some slight rolling if you run heavy camber in the rear (like -8 deg).

If you don't, you'll need heavy rolling and a slight pull.

I run these specs on my rear, 9.5x17 ET13 with 225/35s. I actually pulled a bit too much, have room for 5mm spacers on there.

Here's how they fit with stock arches (only rolled a slight bit):





I pulled the crap out of my rears and run maxed out stock camber bolts (about -3.5 deg camber):

Just make sure you get the body sealant out from inside the arches before you roll so you can roll them nice and flat!

I'm running about -2 deg rear camber atm. Sounds like a lot of work to be done, and a lot that could go wrong as a newcomer. I would love to purchase these wheels as they are simply gorgeous, but I feel a bit iffy.

post a pic of the wheels.
and i think you could get away with some minor pulling.
about a week ago i unfolded the rear double lip on the quarters and cut them, then rolled.
its pretty easy just take your time
