If you want track wheels, go with lightweight 17's. If you want something that'll turn heads on the street, go with 19's. Loved my old VMR V710 setup.

19 is the largest diameter I'd go. Then you need to figure your width and offset.

Depending on tires and suspension, you'll likely need to have your fenders rolled.

I had 19x10 ET35 rears and it fit with my rolled fenders. Tires were stretch fitment though.

yup but you might need to roll the fenders.

Also, 19's with no suspension drop = 4x4 look. You're better off with 17's or 18's on stock suspension.

Your mileage will go down, your car will be slower and it will actually sit higher.

According to the Felgen BMW wheel site, 8" width is it.

Those are 18x8 ET20. What tires are you planning on?

It's no different than my cousin with his 1930's era slammed street rod. It's not driven regularly and it's more about form than function.

Low & slow usually is the key with setups like that. Also, they don't expect the tires to last. I know a couple guys that get 3k miles out of a set of tires (or less).

Also worth mentioning that...

No.

Non-staggered is nice because you can rotate the wheels & tires and it gets rid of a bit of understeer.

Those should fit, depending on tires chosen and ride height with a fender roll.

Those do look like Style 197's. If correct, they are definitely staggered.

18x8 ET34
18x8.5 ET37

I think you may have those offsets confused. 8.5" ET33 front and 9.5" ET45 rear sounds more likely.

My front offset in those pics was ET35

I'd do 255's or 245's all around

Hey John, got your PM but answering here for all to see.

Probably the easiest would be a 17x8.5 or 18x8.5 with an offset in the 35 to 40ish range. I'm also a big fan of what Apex has done on...

1. hollowed or rounded inward like the inside of a bowl
2. arched in : curving in —used of the side of a curve or surface on which neighboring normals to the curve or surface converge and on which...

9.5" wide ET45 will give you a pretty good concave look.

Mine with 9.5" ET45 rears.

10mm = about 0.4 inches.

So, while the 9.5" ET45 wheel sits in .4" as compared to the 8.5" ET35 wheel, it's a full inch wider so it actually sits further out.

You could but the offset would need to be lower than that if you were going for an aggressive look.

19x8.5 ET35 front
19x9.5 ET45 rear

The offset is listed in the link you provided. Backspacing on a 9" rim isn't going to be a problem. It's the offset that will matter.

You may need to lightly roll your rear fenders but yes, those wil fit.

What's the offset Gabe?

IIRC Trevor, you have some fairly wide tires out back so you'll need to get the fenders rolled as flat as possible.

Run a 255/30/19 rear and roll the fenders. Front fits no problem with a 225/35/19
