MIM 1900 ET13 fitment

[Moz]

Hi,

Just wanted to ask, I have checked previous posts and there were differences of opinion as to whether they are a direct fit or not. Seen a set of MIM 1900 on eBay that I like, 4x100 ET13.

Some people have said that they are ok and some have had rubbing issues. Car is a 325i with standard shocks/springs and brakes.

Will I have to flare arches etc?

Thanks!

I used to have a set of these, they were ok 99% of the time, they did rub slightly on the rear under heavy cornering when driving enthusiastically.

Mine had 205 55 tyres on them, if you use narrower or lower profile tyres they may not rub at all.

I've just noticed that these come with 50 profile tyres so they will have a slightly reduced diameter compared to mine.

Thanks, Clarko. I'm not too keen on the 50 profile as I always feel it looks weird in the arch. May be getting a set of BBS 15's off Brutus so may not ever find out if the MIM's rub or not!
