If I bought a set of stagerred rims for my E36 would these fit?

Front 16x7.5 et13

Rear 16x8.5 et25

Any advice?

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I don't think they will fit without arch mods mate. ET is too low as E36's use very high et's, 40+.

Await to be told different though :)

The rears should be ok with the right tyres and and a slight roll.

Fronts will be tighter but not stupidly so, it depends how much work you want to do.

Also note you'll have to make the car stupidly low to pull off 16s. I had to wind my coilovers down as far as they'd go to get 17s tucked into the arches, it looked good but was a nightmare to actually use.
cheers,
