    I am learning....

    I am looking at a set of wheels that are for sale, they are

    7x15 et 13.
    8x15 et 13

    Will these fit my 89 325i with out any problems?

    Will i need to roll the fenders?

    Is the offset too low?

    Will these wheels affect the quality of the ride?

    thanks

    Some people will say the offset is too low... but if you want proper stance, you gotta go low. That should be nice and flush. Minor fender work needed if the car is LOW.

    Otherwise, you're straight.

      Your fronts shouldn't have a problem. For 88+ plastic bumper cars the rear arches are a little bit different, minor rolling should take care of it.

        The offset IS too low; never, ever listen to the drift crowd (they're too hardcore for normal people).

        I call it "too low" because you can't run proper sized tires on them. An 8" wheel should have at least 225's, and you simply CAN'T DO THAT with that wheel setup. If you pinch on 205/50/15 tires in the back it will work fine, however. Throw some 185/55/15's on the front to match the stretched look.

          205/50/15's look pretty good stretched on 15x8. one of my customers had a set of sportmax's with some evs 100's.

            Thanks for the info guys. I should have mentioned that my car is a daily driver and i do not track it or anything so i am pretty much looking for a direct bolt on with no modifications. thanks again. Matt

              will work with plenty of fender rolling and some negative camber. Nice aggressive fitment.
