My Dad is giving me His tires off his BMW M5.. The sizes are as follows...

255/45/17 Will they fit on the back? without rubbing? 225/45/17 on the front?

WHERE CAN I BUY SOME BLOCKOFF PLATES??????????


Thanks super random and newb like but I had to grab attention somehow...

 

I have a s5 front cover (turbo) on my Vert and need to blockoff the OMP.

 

Are the wheels even going to fit? Are the studs and offset somewhere near an RX-7? That's one of the things you gotta check. And i'm pretty sure 255/45/17 will fit in the rear. Ask the suspension section, or read that long *** thread.

EDIT: I'm running 225/50/16, which is about, if not the exact same size as a 225/45/17. I also have eibach progressive lowering springs and tokico blue shocks, and I have yet to experience any rubbing. Had these tires on my car for about 15k.

 

I have 17x8 Exel Mimi wheels with a 35mm ofset. I do not get his wheels just the tires... FYI the Lug pattern on almost any 5 lug BMW is around 120mm..

 

i know 245 will but i think i read some using 255s good luck

 

With the 35mm offset the tires will work perfectly.

a friend of mine has mustang wheels with 275's on the back and I dont think they rub, I have mustang wheels with 245's on the back and 225's on the front and they dont rub.

 

im running 235-45-17 in the rear and 215-45-17 in the front, just find the right offset and you should be fine.

 

275's will fit on the rear of our cars

 

contact bestrotary* on ebay or this forum. He makes them and there is also a great write up about him in the good guy/ bad guy section.

 

I don't think 255s will fit on 8 inch wide rims, most people run them on their 9 inch rims. if they do fit, they'll be way oversized. but if you can get your hands on some 9 inch wide back rims, or just have your rims widened it'll work fine.

 

Hmmm.. I wonder.. I'll have to measure.. Or have them widened at worst case..

 

I think that 255's should fit. I think I've seen 255's on FD 8" wheels.

but yeah, the tires /should/ work... you can always just use a short spacer!

I'd think that rub issues would be far more pronounced in the front either contacting the fender or the inner fenderwell while cornering.

 

I dont think the BMW bolt pattern fits FC's. We are a 114.5 and they are a 120.5
You can try it but I am pretty sure it will not fit. I also own a BMW Dinan 740iL and I took the 18 inch M-pars off and put on Rentech 20''s.

 

what wheeel size tire size and offset im curious?
im runing 18x7.5x 35 off with 245/45/18s on the bcak and it rubed the heatsheild befor i bent it lol.

 

Yeah, I know the wheels won't fit... But is isn't giving me the wheels just the tires because they were too noisy on the interstate.... I won't be able to hear them over my exhaust so I could care less.
