Perhaps Andy S can shed some light on this.

Should fit

I have e38 8*18's all round on my M635.  ET 20.

Rears are not a problem, there's loads of room in there.

Fronts would need 235/40/18's max to avoid rubbing issues with the front strut housing

They look like they will fit alright. Although they will need the hubscentric rings to fit a six. May need a 5mm spacer at the front, but no more then that.

Whoops! Must have nodded off for this thread.

Ian M635UK is your man for 18" wheels.

Better buy a new toothbrush to clean round the nuts!

They are from an E38 (according to the ad) so they will fit without hubcentric rings.  E39 wheels need hubcentric rings to fit an E24.

5mm spacer up fornt will help to avoid rubbing.  Rubbing depends on what tyre manufacturer you go for.  I have exact same size wheel to these up front with Vredestein tyres.  Very Very slight rubbing with these but not a problem.

Going with a 5mm spacer has other problems.  You will loose the centering ring unless you go for 12mm spacers.  I would go without spacers if you buy.

They would look mint on an 635

Grin-inducing factor comes as standard
