ECS Tuning is selling stock BMW wheels for ridiculous price, a SET of 4 18" style 5 is now $800 shipped :omg:

Wow, thats an insane deal. I need to get some for my e34 :)

edit: boo

edit 2: style 42s :drool:
 
Dang, those style 42's would look baller on my car. What adapters are people running with these?

:edit: The offset it so close, can you even run adapters?

yes you can, just have to remove front fender liners and roll rear fenders, you can probably run 20mm adaptors since those wheel at the back have space for studs, then you'll end up with like 0mm front and rear.

Its definitely do-able, and for that price, you can't go wrong.

adaptors son.............. adaptors............ style 10 is E36 offsets!
 
Hi

The style 5 and style 42 come out on 5 and 7 series they have a offset of around 20 with a 5/120 stud patten. They would be of no use fitting them to a volvo due to the offset

How ever the style 42 also come in a 3 series offset thet is around 38 to 42 offset

Hey George, I know you OZ guys got it real bad with the coppers, but 17x8 with ET0 actually do fit on 740s without too much work, I think one member here "Offset" ran 17x8 ET0 all around.

haha, i'd get flamed all the way to the moon if i get 4x100 - 5 lug adapters by everyone on r3v.
I'm planning a proper swap from a e36ti. what do you think? (you're a specialist in this stuff, right?)

I don't know man, we were going to do the 5 lug swap on wife's E30, but then it only made sense if the car was to be made super fast, which is not my wife's goal, she wants the car to be super reliable and slammed, the only positive thing I see in a 5 bolt swap is E36M brakes and 740i 16" style 5.

I am talking about the 20et offset style 5 and style 42 wheels on E39 wheels. I didn't know E39 came with 0et offset from the factory

And for those who can't seem to read I AM TALKING ABOUT 20ET OFFSET WHEELS like some of the wheels listed on the page below

If you can find a 0et offset wheel on the page above you are doing better than me
 
He is saying that you can take a BMW ET20 wheel and run it on a 740 with 20mm adapters to make it essentially ET0 on the 740.

8" ET0 front and 9" ET0 rear can work on a 740 or 240.

8" ET3 with 225/45/17 and fender lips rolled flat on the front of Rob's 242, no problem, and it's REALLY low.

9.5" ET0 gives plenty of clearance to the inside, so 9" ET0 will be fine. Just have to sort out the fender lip trimming/rolling or stretch a tire or pull the fenders.

You need adapters anyway, so naturally I assume you'd have have to put spacers/adapters onto the 20ET's. you can make them fit with a 20mm adapter on a 240. Ask me how I know...

So I am not sure why there would be no use trying to fit them onto a volvo, since it is clearly possible.
 
Won't ET0 poke out on the front of a 7/9 series? I'm looking at the 17x8 Style 42's. I'd want to push the rears out to get them more flush with the fender in the back, but I don't want the poking lowrider look in the front. Anyone have pictures of an ET0 setup on a 7/9 front? I guess another option would be adapters in back and redrill the hubs/rotors in the front.

Dang, it's hard for me to blow $1500 on wheels and tires, but those would look insane on my car. So tempting.
