I need two new tires on my 2000 BMW 323i.

I happen to have some Bridgestone RE960AS tires on two stock rims. I'm going to see if they fit on the rear.

The 16-17" staggered set-up will be sweet. Stay tuned for pictures tomorrow.

lol
The only thing is that if this works, I don't have to buy new tires. F*ck if I care about mis-matched rims.

no they wont. the centerbore on teh BMW rims are larger to accomodate the hubs. ours have a small centerbore which wont fit on the bmw.

bmw will fit on ours but not vise versa.

i tried it on an 02 330ci.

you are welcome to try it, but the center bore doesnt allow the rim to touch the rotor hat.

good luck threading in the lug bolts. :)

Eh, if it meant I didn't have to buy new tires, I really wouldn't care about looks.

I know my friends would have given me sh*t for it, but they ain't the ones buying new tires for the thing.
