Borbet winter set question

act330i · 10-01-2009, 11:25 PM

I'm about to pick up a set of borbet wheels off an older 5 series that are 8Jx17H2 and I'm just wondering if anyone knows if they will fit my 06 330i. Also I need to find tires, but I'm not sure what size to get. I understand that they are 17" and 8" wide, I'm just not an expert on offsets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Depends on the offset. Also, older 5 series ran a 74mm hub bore vs. our E90s 72mm, so you would need some sort of adapter. It really comes down to offset. For the 8" width to work you will need an offset in the et25-35 range.
