i bought these acs rims last night from a german lad,they are 8.5 x 17 for the front and 11 x 17 for the rear with an offset of 45 ,for my e34, i'll need spacers of 23mm and possibly some arch work to make them fit. where would i get the spacers needed and is there a proper adapter bolt on kit i can get instead the wheels are here below. has anyone here got 11's on the rear already and if so was there much hassle and are they safe

Don't know if they'll fit but if they do they'll look fantastic. How much is a rear tyre?

these look like they might be for the zeemax wide or reiger bodykit, now theres an excuse to buy one.

ive seen an e34 with 315's on the rear a few yrs ago, the bloke had modified the rear arches himself but there was a lot of work in it.

no way mate. I have a full acs body kit on her and given that they are so hard to get i won't be taking it off. there is an arch extension kit for the acs bodykits but it's impossible to find. this is the look i'm after. I'm not happy with the type 2 rims i have on her they just don't look deep enough,

I have ACS 17" 10.5j on my e39, with a 265 tyre.

Have your tried in the 5 series forum?

Right been nosing around web

MK Motorsport MK1's used to come in 11x18 for the E34 so there must be some way of getting them to fit.

cool......... i need to get 23mm spacers and longer studs or else a full adapter kit. longer studs could be tricky to find, would some from another model bmw do as most makes keep the same tread pattern on their studs
