Ive seen DS I and DS II on a 91 vert with coil overs by my neighborhood and they look awesome. I like the way DS I looks better.

5 lug wheel choices will depend on what 5 lug suspension set up you went with. E36 5 lug parts will need et41ish wheels while e30 m3 5 lug parts you can run et20-25ish without major fender work and with spacers you can run e36 et41 wheels...


Here is my car with a e30 m3 5 lug setup with e39 style 42's with 215/40-17's



And with e36 staggered DSII's running 15mm spacers front (215/40-17 tires) and 12mm spacers rear (245/35-17 tires)



And some BBS RKII's I just picked up 17x8 et20 probably going with 215/40-17's on these as well.

there is no way that i can run anything less than a 41mm offset wheel with my e36 suff. maybe a 38mm offset at 7" rim.

sorry for shity cell pix

atomic thanks for the pics. I just pickd up a set of 17 inch BMW AC Schnitzer Rims and cant wait to mount them . If i go with another set it will probly be the e39's stile 42's or style 5's i love how the 42's look on your car.

My setup is e36 325i front struts e30 m3 ofset bushings e36 m3 control arms and full e36 ti rear on e30 h&r race springs kyb shocks

i will miss the alpinas on it though:(

You will likely have to modify the hell out of all 4 fenders to make a et20 wheel work on a e36 suspension that is on your car. And likely will still have issues even then... With the e30 m3 suspension I have there are NO issues becuase of the offset.


Good luck though...

My two faves would be style 5s or M system1s but those wouldn't fit right with your current setup. How about some M3 LTW wheels.
