I need some summer tyers to my old 7-series and I have some few questions around it...
I know that I can use alloy wheels from an E34 who is 16 inch or biger!
But can I use alloys from E36, E46, E38 and E39? (who is 16inch +)
Stupid question about alloy rims on a E32

e36 and e46 use higher offset wheels, i think they are around et40, which means you'll need 20mm spacers to take them out to a 20mm offset so they sit ok in the arches.
e39 uses a similar offset to the e32, but has a slightly larger centre bore. you can get spiggot rings to take an e39 rim down to the earlier centrebore size easily and fairly cheaply
