Hello all,
Do you know if these rims will fit a M5?

Fronts: 20x9.5 offset +17
Rears: 20x11 offset +37

Please help!

Fronts will give you a headache to the point you will need quite a bit of negative camber and stretched tires, even then i still think it won't work

Front’s definately will not work. I tried 20x9.5 +20 offset and it touches the front caliper. +17 won’t fit at all.

Caliper clearance will relate to wheel design, but et 17 on a 9.5 is too aggressive

exactly this. lower the offset the more it will move away from the caliper and poke out of the arch

Thanks all for the information!! The fronts were definitely a concern.

LOL, don't listen to these folks. Here's a set mounted on my F10 - I'm actually selling them. FYI - I'm running 12mm spacer in the rear and 10mm in the front. Car is on HR springs.

Bro so your saying even with 21’s will 21x10 +17 offset will work ? I think even if it did wouldn’t it look weird with the the poke in the front and rear flush ? Even if lowered.

I'm kind of lost...I didn't say anything about 21s in my post. But now that you brought that up, a 10" width is about 6.3mm wider on each side than a 9.5" wheel so you have to account that for offset.

Right now, I've got 21x10 in the front ET +35...bringing that down to +17 means adding a 18mm spacer; it will noticeably poke out. I'm not running spacers on my current 21" set up. PM your cell for pics.

Wait... if the rims/tires poke pass the fender and you lower the car...wouldn't it still hit the fender? Or is it because of the wheel gap that gives the illusion that it is poking?

Did you do any mods to make them fit? i.e. roll your fenders or neg cam?

There's definitely the appearance of poke. If you look down at a 90 degree angle on the wheel, it sticks out about 8-10mm from the fender when the suspension is not compressed (on flat ground).

When the spring is compressed, the wheel tucks in on its own. I'm running HR Springs only. No changes done to the camber or any other part of the suspension. Fenders are not rolled or pulled either.
