The replicas took that form-factor to create the 17inch variant. They are cast rims not forged as in original, so cast rims are about 6-8 lbs heavier each.For 17s, they are rather nice and looked decent while tire choices from 205 to 245 will fit. Offset tends to be ET15 or ET13. I think mine is ET 15, width is 7.5inch all round. I have fitted 235/45 , 225/45 and 225/50 tires on these rims. The 225/50 is very confortable as its profile is higher and sidewall a bit curved unlike the almost straight sidewall for 225 & 235 ZR-rated Bridgestones.IF you have E32, I don't think using lower springs is a good idea. Best to replace shock abserbers with Bilsteins Sports (Yellow colour ones) and you get a firmer ride that the E32 feels much more sporty and can corner better if you have decent tires. To me, a 7-series is always more limo like than sporty sedan due to size and weight. Enjoy the space and nice ride, I would think. E34 rear seat space is a bit tight for my liking but we compromise anyway, the wagon (Touring model) has about 2 inches more leg room due to normal seats rather than buckets in sports sedan models. Good enough for me and that nice large trunk!.</blockquote>
