Great choice for the rims. Very nice, only a couple of blemishes... They'll look great.
Watch the spot where the rear bumper meets the wheel well... that is the culprit for most rubbing in the rear.. Just dremel off the edge of the bumper. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

LOL.. thanks guys. i'll be using a fender roller and hammer as needed on the inner edge. the car will be going to paint very soon anyway too. on some cars i have just cut the lip off entirely in some areas. my lexus rears were rolled and then pulled almost 25mm  took a good few hours of massaging. | | | | | 12-18-2009, 07:54 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

The inner corner of the rear bumper will rub where it meets the wheel arch on the rear quarter panel. The bumper is plastic. You can roll and hammer on it all day and it will still flex back to it's original position. You'll see what we're talking about when the time comes | | | | | 12-18-2009, 09:25 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 |

Are those 5x120? Do you know what the centerbore diameter is? They look great. __________________ ~Dave~

bought them on BF.c.. guy had them on an e34. i can measure the bore, not sure if i'll need rings or not to center them. havent even had the rims off my new car yet and i've had it for almost a month now... rare for me.. haha | | | | | 12-18-2009, 05:12 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
Ok, I was wondering if they were E34 or E39 wheels. E34 centerbore is the same as E36, E39 is bigger and requires the rings. __________________ ~Dave~
