Hey guys, I'm interested in switching up wheels this season and had my eye on a couple sets of wheels. One in particular would be the OEM style 63 wheels off a BMW X5. They are 19x9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear.

Now with our offset on our cars it's very difficult to find a set of wheels that will actually fit properly and look good without extensive modification (Fender rolling, spacers etc). How do these wheels bolt up? Is it direct bolt on or would I have to run spacers and pull/roll fenders to make this happen?

Appreciate your help and feedback as always.

Cheers,

These wheels are horribly heavy, not sure if that matters to you but they are like 60% heavier than standard 18" wheels. Second, fitment is not going to be easy/good, you will have a lot of work to do in the front and the rear (fender rolling, suspension tweaks etc).

Honestly, not worth the effort (IMHO).

I second this.

In the end it does come down to what YOU want, not us. But these wheel were designed for an SUV, not a tiny sports car. Just remember that. Same reason sprigs with OEM shocks aren't advised. Same reason even going to just 19s on stock suspension will ride differently.

You change one thing on the suspension, it changes a lot of other things you won't even realize

Front possible with maximum camber and fender pulling, rear possible with very pulled fenders, much camber, and stretched tire. You decide if that's worth it

Appreciate the feedback guys. I'm going to go another route. The fender work/tuning the suspension along with the heaviness isn't worth the effort imo.

Also I have been looking for other rim styles as well, it seems that we are limited to the VMR styles.

However, I've seen a couple people run the bbs lm reps. I'm wondering which company and offset would I have to get in order for the wheels to be a simple bolt on? Also what tires can you guys reccomend to reduce the rubbing?

Thanks again,
