    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
