not much lip but it's a 17x9.5 +24
finding wheels with a good offset sucks. you gotta be in the right place at the right time with cash. or do what struka did and find some wheels you like and bug the guy that owns them until he sells them to you.
I KNOW GERMAN, why didn't u ask andy?
it said the bmw rims are in new condition for different bmw models, and i think it said that the rim is 100% perfect around, and I think he says he spend 990 euros to by, and only asking like 400. I need to get my german dictionary to tell you the rest.

I know... it's not so much the fitment, although it is hella gangster, and looks beyond rad. It's the tyre stretch I'm dying for here. I really hate practicing on 17x8's all day, and switching to the 17x9.5's for qualifying/competition. The car reacts totally different. Especially on transition. I don't have to lift at all with the stretch, and I have to lift big time without it. I just want some consistency.

we put 205s on stuka's wheels. it was super easy because jdm wheel manufacturers know people will try to stretch tires.

we stretched the front tires 18x10 with ether and a match, but had to drive to three different tire shops to find some one to put the rears on.
