Unless you going to do some major work to the arches 9j is not going to fit without scrubbing everywhere

I've just fitted some 8x15s to my phase1 and the rears are touching the arches and leading edges of the rear bumper.

With a BMW being RWD the offset will have the wheels sticking out further than if they were for a FWD so theyd probably sit a good inch outside of the arch.

I'd give them a good dose of 'leaving alone' if i were you.

Yeah it just didnt seam right. So what size do you guys find looks good an the 5's without the whole scrubbing issue? The wheels in question are Borbets A's by the way, think they will look the dogs. What you think? Anyone on here got them fitted atm?
