    Default Will E36 M3 wheels work?

    I found a set of e36 M3 wheels with 215/45R17 snows for sale at a good price. Will these work OK on a 1992 525it? I checked an online tire-size calculator and the speedometer reading would be within 1% but I know there is more to it than that.

    point a - search.
    point b - only with spacers. go search on that, and make your own decisions.

    takes around a inch of spacer which is not a good idea, espcially a e34/32 where the front end is allready prone to shimmy, besides you'd probably have $300 in spacers or more for "quality" ones, sorta kills the good deal
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
