Axis Penta fitment question

keysopendoors · 06-15-2007, 02:53 PM

I'm going to check out a set of 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 (staggered) Axis Penta wheels today that are coming off of an 04 330ci. The seller doesnt know the offsets, but after doing some research, I found that they should be ET35 front and ET40 rear. I know that ET35 in front should be fine, but am I correct in my assumption that the rears would fit fine with an 8 or 12 mm spacer (depending on how low I go)? Has anyone swapped wheels from an E46 NON-M onto an E90 successfully with spacers? Thanks.

I have Axis Penta 19x9.5 ET40 with 275’s and 12mm RE spacers at the rear with no problems at all....but it’s not lowered.

Do you have any pics of your setup? I'm not lowered yet either, just stock ZSP suspension...I might go for something lower after I get the wheels though.

I don't..but I will take some pics tonight or tomorrow morning for you.

Mtndog, did you have a problem fitting TPMS sensors to the wheels, or are you just rolling with the warning light on all the time? I'd ideally like to get sensors put in, but I've heard some wheels dont accept them.

My E90 doesn't have sensors in the wheels. It's my understanding that it is an ABS based system. I think only the E92's have the sensor in the wheel

Ron@Modbargains · 06-15-2007, 05:37 PM

You are correct, 19 x 8.5 ET35 and rear 19x9.5 ET40 (Go with an 8mm spacer) We also have the wheels available here : http://www.**********s.com/product.a..._id=axis_penta

Mine is a May 2007 production 328i, so I have the TPMS built into the wheels like an E92. Im hoping I can just swap the existing hardware onto the new wheels, but I'm not sure if they will accept it.

Dose the rear offset are the same if the rear is 19x10.5?

BMW MotorSport · 02-13-2008, 06:19 AM
