5 series wheels on a e36

I had a set of style 66 wheels at home and decided to get tires to throw them onto my 323i. They are a staggered set. Got the tires on and no way will they clear the back arches (fitted with 245 width too) even tried the front ones on the back and no joy. Needless to say I am raging. Even with the arches rolled they still won't fit. Can anyone recommend someone to flare my back arches slightly? Tipperary area preferably. I don't want anything mad because it would just take away from the lines of the car, just to get the wheels to fit. Thanks in advance.

They'll go on with 215 width tyres, yes that will be a bit of a stretch but before you reach for your crucifix and condemn me to hell they are perfectly safe. I ran Style 5's and Futuras hard on that set up and had no issues

Ah Jesus I wouldn't do that now haha. Are you sure the rears will fit? The alloys alone look as if they won't fit.

Quite sure, even at 8 inch and 9 inch rear wheels a 215 will fit

I had 8x17 et 20 front and 9x17 et26 on rear and I had slightly rolled arches at the back. 215/40 at the back were perfect.

245 are to wide.

Thanks for the input lads. Those would be perfect for me valdelis but I've paid for the tires on the wheels already and the chap in the tire centre is decent bloke and he has those sizes in stock he's going swapping them over for me tomorrow :p I'll let ye know how they fit with lots of photos of course haha

Got 215 40 put on the back and still no joy, rubbing like a bastard still

That's strange. As I have mine rear rolled by John. And 215/40.was perfect fit. No ribbon even fully low on coilovers and some people in. I even thought I could put 225 but I never did.

That was the stretch

If you zoom it you will see that there is space

the offset still can be bit different ,and bit depends on tire make .most cheap tires are wider and more rubber on the corners, good makes more narrow

have U checked the wheel offset ? is it ET26 ? maybe U have front ones all aroud? becouse front ones only ET20

Yup front is et20 rear is 26et
Problem solved just the rear arches slightly flared by Romeo Caesar this and they now fit like a glove. I'm very happy with the way it sits now. I think look class :p
