If moderator can make this sticky, that'll be great.

I have been looking at wheels for the E90, and besides AC/Breyton/OEM rep/BBS, there are not that many that'll fit because of the 5/120 bolt pattern. If you know of any wheels (especially name brand Japanese wheels..ie Volk/Racing Hart/Work/Rays..etc) Personally, I think Volk GT-U or Racing Hart C4 would look sick on the E90 Please list any you know of, so everyone can use it as reference. I think Volk TE37K comes with 5/120 bolt, but not 100% positive. Please list them if you know. Thanks

sticky? for what?

Have you tried a search in this forum or the photo/media forum for some of the companies you listed? Try it, some of those Japanese name brands will show up.

I am sure you can fit most E36 and E46 non M wheels on your cars without problems.

Anyone happen to have pics of CSL wheels on a E90 yet?

If you guys are interested I may be able to get those Japanese wheels you mentioned.

The e36 and non-m e46 wheels will have higher offsets, not really a good match for the e90, but they will work.

Re pics of the CSL rims on the e90, they are all over this forum!

what offsets do the new E90s use in the front/rear?

The e90's with the factory sport pack has 8.0 wide rims in front with +34 offsets and 8.5 wide rims in the rear with +37 offsets.

So if some of us are looking for Japanese rims, we'll know which company and what style is available for 5/120 bolt pattern. I looked at Racing Hart C4/ Volk GT-U/ Volk SF-winning and none of them are listed under 5/120. I also did a search on the forum, and not too many people here or bimmerfest have Japanese rims (if at all even possible) I mean I like BBS just as much as the next guy, but I think Japanese forge rims are defintely more of a bargain and some even have better styling (IMHO)

Most Japanese Brands now have a "euro" line. Volks for example offer certian rims for euro fitments. They are not listed on too many websites. For Japanese brands, the best thing is to ask a distributer for fitments once you find a style and brand you like. For Volk, I believe both those styles you listed are not available in euro fitments...yet.

Stock E36 uses ET 38 all around so your fronts are only 4mm off and 1mm off in the rears. Very possible to fit E36/46 wheels on your cars. Stock wheel width in front is 7.5 and 8.5 in the rear, but many have run the 8.5 all around without problems. I know on my E36 M3 I have had wheels that were ET43 with 235/40/18 tires w/o problems.

How wide are the E36 stock rims with +38? I'm telling you, yes they will fit, but man they will look funny. Try it.

7.5 front, 8.5" rear.

I saw the OZ racing ultraleggera rims on their website. Love it. I'm thinking of 17" instead of 18".

The 17" rims have +40 offset, 8" wide. Would they be able to fit into a standard non-sport package e90?

[Don Nguyen]

According to what has been posted, if you run those OZ wheels the fronts will be sunken in 6mm more in the front and 3mm in the rear. You could always purchase some spacers to push it back out to meet your fitment. We sell some eibach spacers, I beleive the 5mm ones with lug bolts for $65.00 plus shipping. But that is up to you, some like the look w/o it some don't.

[ksquare]

Would there be any rubbing without the spacers?

go maya baby...they are japanese and they make wheels to your specifications
