Guys,

Anyone can help me with the possible fitment of a set of 19'' Borbet style 63 BMW X5 wheels on my 128 SportPack?

OEM staggered wheels setup:
Front
18'' - 7.5 wide - offset 49
Rear
18'' - 8.5 wide - offset 52

Borbet BMW style 131 wheels
Front
19'' - 9 wide - offset 48
rear
19'' - 10 wide - offset 45

Basically it'll give me:
Front
18mm less inner clearance
20mm extra extend outside
Rear
12mm less inner clearance
26mm extra extend outside

I saw a guy with this setup somewhere around here but he had a modified coilovers set-up and im running stock Sportpack suspensions.

Any good Samaritans around that can help?

Thanks

I have a set of these from my x5 and without lots of illegal machining of the wheels, spacers and lots of negative camber these wheels wont fit.

The 19" X5 wheels are ultra heavy, I have 20 inch wheels on my 1er which are lighter.

The 9" fronts fit perfectly on the rear but there is no solution for the front.

I could go into more detail of what has to be done but I'm not going to as I feel these mods are unsafe and could potentially kill someone.
