    Wheel options or stock 1986 325es

    Hi there, what information do I need when sourcing wheels for a stock 1986 325es? I think they will have to be 4 lug and I don't have any desire to convert to 5 lug so anywhere to view my options?

    Tire rack is actually pretty good at helping you decide. I guess the 4 x 100 bolt pattern is the main thing? How about rim size, how big can you go without rubbing, 16" with lower than stock profile?

    Thanks.

    Discounttiredirect.com is a great place to start. They also have a sizing chart.

      Wheel size doesn't decide what rubs unless you go 18"+.

      Size the tires correctly according to wheel size to maintain a diameter that matches the original 195/65/14 tire.

      We can't decide what wheels you want though. That's up to you.
