They use a 9 inch rim for the rears...I dont recall if the offset is the
same (20mm)
You run a 235/45 on a 9 inch rim now? That's a pretty narrow tire for
that rim isnt it?

Subject: E39 wheel/tire size question
My '97 540i 6 spd has the OEM 17x9 wheels at all four corners, utilizing a
235-45-17 tire.
The later E39 540's run the 235 tire in front, but use a 255-40-17 tire in
the rear.
My question is - do the later E39's use a wider wheel in the rear? Or is
this wider tire run on the same 17x8 wheel? I'd like to go to the
staggered
widths on my car if possible.
Thanks,
