I found these really cool bbs rims on Craigslist and was wondering if they'd fit my 2006 330xi.http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/pts/1971649010.html

I have been searching for nice (and reasonably priced) rims on the web for months and these are the first rims that id actually love to buy in a second. I plan on outfitting them with some dedicated winter tires but again i am not sure of fitment. My current wheel size is 245/45/17 (the same as listed in the posting). I also have no idea if these will fit my 120 bolt pattern or if the offset will work with my ride. Thanks in advance for the help guys!

you are not buying those.

Just because its BBS? not everything they make is hot imo.

[benjamin0704]

why?

[benjamin0704]

i think it would make a really nice winer set...

BBS STYLE not BBS

[benjamin0704]

they are real bbs rims...style #19...pretty sure their et20 5x120

thats an aggressive winter set... steelies would look better btw

looks like you'll new tires in addition. Only two of the four are run flats, and "too damaged for his liking"? It almost looks like there is a bubble on the bead in the pic.

lol fail

[benjamin0704]

i dont know why you guys think these rims are so hideous. I must need glasses because these rims look pretty fresh. Im going for a more beefy auto x look with big fat snow tires.

those are bmw style 19 wheels, used on some e39 5 series.

If you like 'em then you like 'em. I personally think they're hideous as well but you shouldn't care about that or what anyone else thinks either. In order to get the info you're looking for you need to get the bolt pattern and offset specs from the seller then with that information I'm sure there's someone here on the forum who can help you out.

Given that you'll need 4 new tires, have them mounted, balanced, and probably TPMs added too, you can get a brand new set already mounted, balanced, TPMs very good looking wheels from Tire Rack. Fast, easy, no headaches, good quality = no brainer in my book...

those look like the older e39/5 series wheels. the centerbore will be off, offset will be off, but the bolt pattern should be good. you will need spacers, hub centric rings and roll fenders to make this work.

I don't see the need for spacers if they're the 17x8 ET20.

[benjamin0704]

what do you mean by center bore. What would it take to make these things fit?

well done, i was worried no body had seen these before

[mt3c]

those wheels are e39 wheels. I think they were stock on the 540 6 speeds, and optional on other models.

The wheels have a bolt pattern of 5x120, and hub/center bore of 74mm. 3 series only have a center bore of 72.5mm. You should use hubcentric rings with those wheels if you purchase. a 74 to 72.5 ring will do, easy to find on amazon.com

[benjamin0704]

So if i do decide to purchase these ugly ass rims, would they fit on my car with the one addition of some hub centric rigs. The offset will be fine and i wont have any fender clearance problems?

[Bakeme521]

on those wheels
