Default WILL 19" RIMS FIT A '95 318TI?

I Am Looking To Put Either 18" Or 19" (if They Fit) Bellagio Spinners On My 1995 318ti, Will They Fit, Or Do I Need To Look For A Different Rim??

Will Any 19" Rims Fit, If So What Are My Options?

I Would Like To Get Spinners, Does Anyone Know Of Any That Will Fit?

Thanks!

I'm sorry but, please don't put spinners on your TI. It's your car, but I think its not appropriate on a BMW. In fact mentioning it on here is probably taboo. Look on tirerack.com for more info on wheel tire combinations.

i think 19s wont fit e36 cars. 18s will fit. if u really want 19s u might have play around wiht the fenders and fenders wells and siht and stuff alotta pain and headache might as well save lots of moeny and get 18s. im against bmws with the ****in escalade drug dealer wheels.

To answer the question, 19s will fit, atleast on a regular E36, I'm not sure how our rear fenders compare to theirs. As for the spinners, your car will lose all semblance of speed and quickness due to the tremendous weight of spinner wheels. That's a big reason that you only see them on Sport Futility Vehicles, trucks, and cars with big torquey motors.

I do not know what this guy wants, check his other threads. Near as I can tell he is looking to put $4000 rims on a car he will sell to himself when he becomes a pimpin gangsta. WTF???

Anyhow, I have 19" wheels on my car with low profile tires... they fit perfectly... my car is lower as well... sports suspension lower.. but if it gets too low.. you hit wheel well and fender... so it can only be lowered so much.

Spinners are just tacky imho.

Wow, ummmm.... Spinners you say ehhhh. I mean, I thought I was a little out there because I dont want to go with aftermarket BMW wheels. But spinners? hmmmm, ummmmm.....Yeah, 19"s will fit. They fit fine, you just gotta use a low profile tire, probably a 40 or so. Before you go and spend that money on spinners, check out something clean, but "ballin". Maybe Lowenhart LSRs (I like them, but theyre $1400 per rim, without tires.), or Giovanna Genoas (what Im looking to get soon hopefully). Theyre nice, yet clean. If you gotta go that route, get an issue of DUB. Yes, I get DUB, so I myself must have some "street cred" lol. It has tons of pics, and you can find something different, but clean and classy.

Please do not put spinners on anything. SUV, Truck, NOTHING. They are lame, and cheesy.

superbuytires.com (search by vehicle)........ nice clean wheels (along with funky ass ghetto ones) are on there. I went looking to save your TI, and how about some Gianelle V5Bs... Foose Speedsters..... Niche Rhine...Zenetti Mystik.... Or Savini ST-1.

Just some quick wheels to look at. I will drive my car into a pole if I see a TI with 19" spinners on it.

what ever you do is put the money into a supercharger or something usefull not spinners. It would look very tacky and you have to roll under you wheel wells
