Fbody sitting on M5 wheels.

Some of yall mentioned the BMW wheels. I put the M5 series on my mine. Here are some pics. I will post better ones. As you can see the tires were getting washed and my boy with the cam had to go.

I have always liked the BMW mesh design! What size are those wheels & tires?

Well I sacrificied my width. It's only 8.
So I have 245/40/18s all around.

Getting DMS or BMR springs ordered tomorrow.


I think I can get away with a 1.3 drop. What do yall think?

One more thing. I read somewhere or heard that you can have rims stretched...well not strected but lets made wider. If that is under 300 bucks for 2 then I would do it. If you guys know who does it, let me know.



Dec 28
I just found out I can get the two rears widened for 200 each.
I don't know if that is worth it. I will see how it looks after I drop it.

Looks nice man. I also cant belive that the M5 offset is the same as the camaro, or did you have to throw in a spacer or something??

No spacers needed. I tried to put on the new 745 rims on my car, but the spacing was a plus so it stuck out a tad. Man those rims looked even better on my car IMO. I had a more aggressive look and the color looked so good with my car. I've been hearing for awhile that beemer wheels will fit fbodys. I am happy with the buy. I don't think I will run into anyone soon with those same wheels. My neighbor has an M3 and he is ready to get a set......I'm glad he doesn't have a Z!!!
