BMW 5spoke 19's

I can get a great deal on these wheels and I like the style. The front would look perfect with the appearance of a built-in 10mm spacer. The back however I am fear might rub. I am currently running my car with Dinan's suspension which only drops the car 5mm. Anyone out there with a similar setup 10in 14 offset or 23 offset with 15mm spacer out there? Need help! Thanks in advance!

Front wheels are fine (plenty of room), but that rear offset is pushing the envelope. +14 on a 10" rear wheel will almost certainly rub depending on the tire size and brand you select.

The rear offset is just too aggressive IMO without fender rolling if you plan on running a square tire size on the 10" wheel. (275/35/19)

Actuall it only pushes it OUT 15mm from the stock offset. As far as I know there is no fender to roll on our cars. Dunno? I thought for sure there was someone out there running a 15mm spacer on a stock setup.

+15mm more than the stock rear wheel offset is possible, but it pushes the limits of available space. You are right on the edge between a very aggressive look...and rubbing.

You might get away with it, but that may require you to choose a 265/35/19 tire to get a little breathing room between the tire and that outside fender.

as Lemans Blue M mentioned, that is right on the threshold of rubbing and not rubbing. you can run 26535-19 tires and with a little more negative camber, it should work with no one sitting in the back

FYI, when we did 10" wide with +20 offset, they work fine with a drop and 285 tires.

Thanks guys. This helps a bit. I don't mind running 265's. I may just have to try it. I know there is definately guys running 15mm spacers all the way around. Just don't know if they have to add more camber in, I don't really want to do that. I really think the tires are going to play a bigger role in this case.

My rears extend 11mm and I think its plenty
The tires kick up a good amount of dirt, those lower rear fenders could take a beating with +15mm

Not an issue, my rear fenders are clear bra'd.

I think they will look super aggresive, classic clean design and just think of how much easier these wheels would be to clean!
