18x8.5 (Front) 19x9.5 (Rear)

BronxBoy10471 · 05-13-2006, 11:03 AM

Any thoughts about this potential set up..... probably go with a Beyern Mesh (if I can find them) or something with that look.

Any help or guidance appreciated.

Personally, I think it would look funny to have two different wheel diameters.

it will look good but you will not find a 9.5 beyern mesh with a 30 offset anywhere. production demand problems. You will find a 25 offset but i dont know how it will fit, most people say it will be your getting into the offset range where rubbing could be a possibility.

I think I'll end up with 18x8 and 19x9 not in a Beyern but with a similiar look. Not sure about the 18 front and 19 rear..... so I may just go 18 or 19 all around... but I am leaning towards the 18/19 for some reason I think it would look good on the car so does the guy helping me with the rims and tires..

actually different diameters may look good but why not 19 front and 20 rear? it'll look sick

none taken but I have seen a few M's with the differential and they looked great........... not sold 100% yet but I am leaning I think it may look good.... worst case is it does nt and I buy 2 more wheels and write the others off... but I am trouble finding wheels beyerns are impossible to find... so I will go tomorrow and see what I can get

You've got an XI, so you need to be very carefull about changing the rolling diameter size of your front and rear wheels. I would recommend against it because if you have different front/rear wheel speeds you can destroy the center-diff.

Oh man. He's totally right about that. You'll be rotating your front and rear wheels with different ratios.

Point taken.... so unless your wrong which logically it makes sense ... the issue for me is put to bed..

Thank you.
