Smallest Rear OEM BMW Wheel.
Has anyone experimented with any 18" wheels for the rear? I'm thinking OEM E39 M5 or E38 M-parallels. looking to get something a lot lighter to slap some mickey Thompsons on.

You can fit 18" on the rear of F10 M5? I thought smallest you can go is 19" because of those big discs.

You guys are dreaming. lol
MOST, and I mean... 95% of 19" on this planet will not fit, the other 5% of the 19" that do fit, were simply DESIGNED to fit around these specific brakes. 18"? |

19" stockers if you can find them used and cheap is about the only 19" rim that will fit.
18" is where the good drag radials start. Man... if we could fit an 18" Hoosier!!

I have 19x9 on my winters now and the rears are actually pretty tight. the rear caliper is thicker (taller) than the fronts. clearance between the caliper and the wheel drum is a bit tight. i dont know if you can fits 18s on this car.
