I'm curious. 1. Why does this thread have 5 stars? 2. What have Nike ladies' shoes got to do with it? 3. Why is the French grammatically incorrect?

Only thing thats clear to me is you got a tidy set of wheels at a great price. I pay more than that for a tyre!:D

BBS is usually in the habit of stamping the wheel specs on the back. You ought to have something like 17J8 IS20, as an example of 17 inch by 8" wide with an offset of 20mm. There's usually other numbers in the mix.

20mm offset is what's good for the e34. Anything higher requires spacers, anything less brings the wheels out farther. Below 13mm can be a problem for the e34 (to be confirmed), unless they are taken to a shop to be machined. Some like to roll fenders instead.

French spam. That's pretty original. But, that's a typical automated translation. Oui ! Oui !

All I know so far is that offset is definately 22. But I bought these interstate, so a friend is going to collect them for me through the week and get him to take a good look at any additional markings etc.

EDIT would 22 be okay or as you described require spacers?

an offset of 22 is fine

Stock offset is 20 so mattering on width you would need to calculate from that point as in width for the rear and front from corresponding offsets.

Don't think so. Vaguely similar styles, but they're not 14's. These have rounded off spokes, 14's don't. Also these are slimmer than the 14's in the hub area and spokes.
