question about 18" RIM

[sewell]

hi sifu,my ride BMW E39 520i 2.2 would like to upgrade my current 16" rim to 18" . i found a rim which is 2pcs 18" x 8J and 2pcs 18" x 8.5J. my concern is can this 18" x 8.5J put 225 x 45 x18 ? i dont really need wide tyre. where can i look for nice 2nd hand BMW rim ?

8.5J better put 235 atleast, or the tyre will look kinda stretched

No, offset is different.

e39 lagi special, the center bore is different with others species.

Only rims which are meant for e39. But you can also use rims for other 5 series models too, which u need to bore away the centre hole to make it bigger, so that it could fit your e39.However I don't really recommend this, as it wouldn't be perfectly aligned and centered after doing so. Thus, it wont be that stable. Worse, erratic vibration at high speed.
