7 Series 19s on RL

Hey guys Im still kind of new with this offset stuff. I saw a guy selling 7 series BMW wheels for cheap they were 19x9 and 19x20 with a +24 offset. I saw that he had pics of them on a TL, does anyone know if they will fit our RL if they are lowered with the H&R springs. Please help.

yea i dont think the offset will clear on the RL without some sort of adapter/spacer. the 7 series wheels have a thicker spoke design as well. the main area that is a problem with the caliper is near the hub area where the spoke design would meet the center of the wheel.

If he is selling the ones on the TL pictured, you are out of luck. TL's run 5x114.3 bolt patterns. Staggered could also throw you through a loop finding the right tires for our AWD system.

I thought 8.5" wide was the most you could go in the front with no rub, but I could be wrong. H&R should only make that more likely to rub.

Also, 19" x 20" wheels only fit on dually trucks.

You don't want to run Staggered wheels In AWD cars. But man they look sweet, i was thinking about this today when i saw a 750i earlier but in my head i thought *too bad they are staggered*

Calm down champ, what is with the insults? Correction, people like yourself is what's wrong with the country. "Your whats wrong with our country" at least learn to spell correctly if you're gonna come off as the smart guy. God the irony. Fail.

i actually ended up getting 20' XXR 502s ill post pics up when i get my car back. My alternator went out the day after i got the rims. Thank god for extended service. Hey RL Chi-town where did you get your exhaust done? Not too many places in chicago with RL parts or even aftermarket. Trying to find body kits as well and its real difficult. Took me forever to find rims. But top speed did a great job
