ok, I bought some alloys for my bmw but they have a big off set but i like them and am keeping them so,
The rear ones could probably clear the arches if i have the rear rolled.
But the front ones stick out a bit and with some arch rolling and i am thinking of changing the tyres from 235 to 205 or 215 stretching the tyres i know all about the tyre stretcing row but its all i can think of atm.

here a pic.

Can they not be machined to reduce the offset?

Just had a look and you could not take much off before it becomes too unsafe.

Don't forget that the lower the offset the further out they will be. So you need a higher offset.

You will never be able to machine enough off them to make them fit properly, can't see the ol' bill liking them either.

Looks like your only option is to find a different set of wheels that fit your car properly

In the pics that was only a test fit i wont drive it with wheels like that.
But i dont want to changing the wheels.
Ill maybe give some 205 tyres ago i have 2 sitting about in my garrage.

Why not get the arches flared sightly........

How wide are the wheels?

iTrader: (2)

think they are 9" wide or 9.5 they have 235 tyres at the min.
I think they look good but i had my heart set on some deep dish bmw wheels

They look the same width all round anyway which looks a bit poo IMO. Can you not find too smaller wheels? Like 8.5 inch and a smaller lip? Would look MILES better aswell!

Failing that, run a 215/35 on them with big stretch.

rears will say 235 but i am thinking a thinner tyre on the fronts and get all the arches done.

They are all the same size and not staggered sadly.

Have a look here http://www.tyrestretch.com/index.php

Basic rule of thumb. If the rim lip sticks out its not good for the road.

maybe it will come down to wheel arch extensions
