BMW style 5 rims

[Tom Martin]

Hi all, anyone ever run style 5 rims,16x7 et 20 with tyres 225x50x16. Have a really good set available but I think that et20 will poke out a bit too far on the front. 1999 wide body, standard suspension.Any input, thoughts would be much appreciated.

There is also this https://jr-wheels.com/et-calculator that I prefer to use because it's simpler and more visually "friendly"

It looks like they will only poke out 1.5cm so I believe it will be fine

Thanks you both for info. Have used both those sites and think the front wheels would protrude about 15mm beyond the wheel guards, a bit too much for my liking. Just thought someone on the forum may have tried them. May have to buy them and give them a try as Tony suggests. Cheers

Et 20 wil stick out too much on front.
You don't have too much give on the front from the original Et41 bit more scope on the rear.
Wheels out over the arches will ruin the cars looks.

Thanks Steve, that’s what I thought. Rears would be ok but front not so. Will let them pass.
Cheers
