Style 5 variants?

Hi folks, this has been wrecking my head lately. How many different style 5s are there?

Some are listed here:

http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/5

But definitely not all of them, as there is only 1 x 17" variant listed, and there's definitely more? There's the e36 almost completely flat ones (no dish) and there are square dished 17" ones, and there is the e39 staggered dished ones, there's the e30 and e34 ones in 14/15/16 inch as well.

Ultimately I'm trying to figure out if there is a 17" staggered style 5 setup for the e36, as in - with the right offset / wheel size so 7.5 front 8.5 rear et 4x ?

One option is to have e36 ( almost flat) fronts and e39 dished rears, but there is NO WAY I'm going down the spigot ring, low off set, stretched tyre route.

Anyone know?

I'm almost sure Andy e36 has the original fitment that came with the e36

7.5j fronts
8.5j rears
Et 41

As I said before E36 fronts and e39 rears with spigot rings. This is what I have. No rear roll required with 215 and stock height. No roll required 205 and slammed. Nothing done at all in the front. Even with a 215 and a 25mm spacer on stock height no problems at all.

Edit meant to say 215 is not stretched at all 205 bearly. 8j front 8.5j rear.

Must drop him a pm :)

Open to correction but:

E36 Style 5s are square 7.5J set-up,
BBS RC040, 7.5J ET41. (Same as Harrys Touring)

So if you want a staggered set,
BBS RC090 (E39 Fronts) which are 8J ET20

No need for stretch/roll etc... Just 2 Spigots for the rear. :)


Or for a proper E36 BBS set-up 7.5J/8.5J ET41 look for BBS RC041 and RC042. (Same as my white ones)

These where on andy e36. Maybe he just changed to style 5 7.5j square.

Hmm must check my exact specifics but on second thought I think the fronts are 7.5j and rear 8.0j BMW is on the money.

So e36 and e39 fronts!

E36's only had 7.5J available front and rear as specified by BMW. Unusually there are two tyre sizes indicated dependent on source. 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 as are on mine.

I've seen that ad alright. I just wanted to know once and for all if there was ever a staggered set for the e36, now I know there isn't. So the most suitable thing to do would be to get e36 fronts (17x7.5 et41) and e34 rears (17x8 et20), but then you'd have to space the fronts, stretch tyres/roll arches, which is not for me.

Thanks for all the replies though :)

Need a roll and 12mm is only one to use as is truly hubcentric.
