Newbie here in need of help

Ribs T · 10-18-2011, 07:57 AM

Hey guys,
I am about to purchase some wheels for my 116i e87 and I wanted to know if the beyern baroque 20inch 8.5fr and 9.5r will work without any modification or will I have to go with the 19inch. Thanks everyone!

20s are pretty large for this car. I suppose with the right wheel specs it could work but if it were up to me I'd go with 18s or 19s instead.

Aren't the offsets on those really low? If the 118i has offsets like the 135i, then I don't think there's a chance these would fit. Wish I could drive my baby in Bermuda.

Thanks you guys,
I really appreciate the help. I am going to go with the 19's.
One more question though, what should I go with for tyres? I wanted to go with 225/30/19 fr and 225/35/19 r or 225/30/19 r what do you guys think?

Oh and I almost forgot, I don't even know the offset. I think it's 40. And what brand of tyre do you guys recommend?
