BMW E36 Forum

Thought about keeping the stockies on so next time you don't wreck your nice rims?

Does SA have "hoon" laws? If I did anything like that I'd have my car taken off me here in Vic.

nah, just not gonna drive till I get license back, my car still gets used tho, and its a good chance for me 2 save money and have been doin this and that 2 it... so when it goes back out with me, it will b prime.


yeah we do, i think its 3 times then they take it. but they did take it for 7 days..

wow.. that was some chase.. so did u get away??

ive got 9 points so basically 1 more speeding fine and im banned my insurance is £2000 a year!im gonna take car off the road in summer and deal with a few rust bubbles and get wheels refurbed by the summer after that points will have expired and car will be mint.plus then ill have cheap insurance!

Did you get caught???

I will read time to time that....

Garry i saw your past post about your 19 x 8.5 alloys on an e36, I wonder what your experiences are now with these? and if you think they will be ok for the e36 1998 328i Convertible auto

I have some nice AC schnitzer alloys (Rim Width:8.5J
Rim Diameter: 19 inches) fitted with 235/35/ZR19s, load index 91 tyres, (2 x Michelin ps2 and 2 x Continental sports contact 3). I wonder if they will fit on my 1998 e36 328i Convertible without rubbing and no mods? e.g rolling fenders to accomodate the wheels as people say or changes in suspension?

The exact numbers at the back of the alloys:
ET 33 RB 18 19 x 8.5
M PCD 120 x 5H
LOAD 630 kg VIA

The car is not lowered, see picture

Do you reckon they will fit, many thanks.

Your best bet buddy is taking your wheels off and putting the new ones on, do the driver side front wheel 1st. Drive a few yards and then a few with full steering lock both ways. If you hear no rubbing then change all wheels and take for a small drive testing over speed bumps and listening for rubbing. No point waiting round for someone to answer a question when the answer is fairly easily and harmlessly discovered.

Drive a few yards and again a few with abounding council lock both ways. If you apprehend no abrading again change all auto and yield for a baby drive testing over acceleration bumps and alert for rubbing.

5x114,3 is some japanese car.

You might be able to fit them with adapter plates but it really might not be worth it if you want to have done it the proper way
