Need help. Bought wheels that I thought would fit but don't

Whats up guys,

I bought some BMW 7 series wheels 19x9 and 19x10 with 245 front and 275 rear tires. The adapters are 25 mm.

Car is lowered on tein s tech and tokico hp shocks

I had a shop put them on and the springs/shocks and turns out with the the size of the adapters are making the wheels poking out of the fender around an inch or so in the back.

Two shops told me to buy new wheels and they are not happening.

Obviously it can be done, as seen by these pics

Now to get these to fit, i'm gonna have to roll my fenders, how tricky is that? i've heard good and bad things about it, and is rolling my fenders all i'm gonna need to do in order for these to fit into my fenders?

Thank you

The guy with the gold rims had his red filled to 5x114 if I'm not mistaken

If you want to roll your fenders, you should get someone experienced to do it for you. Usually they charge around $40 bucks per fender? (at least in my area they are) Make sure they are using a heat gun as well.

I've found a guy here in STL that's done a lot, but I know zero about rolling fenders so I don't know what to expect. How much do you think my fenders need to be rolled?

Just to let you know once you roll your fenders it may look really award if you decide to lift your ride height back up...my friends G looked like a Hoover craft after he got over the "hellaflush" look

Yeah this is one of my fears :icon43: once i roll.... can't go back. But I really like the wheels and I think it's a good choice

Too bad those don't fit without adapters, that white g35 looks amazing

Either...
Redrill the BMW wheels
Roll and pull fenders to accomodate
Use camber and smaller tires

^ What he said. But the guy who said rolling fenders would make your car look awkward is incorrect. I think he meant pulling fenders.

I agree with you, rolled fenders won't be noticeable at stock height unless whoever rolled them butchered them as well.

I'm gonna go with this. Hopefully it won't cost that much after everything is done.

Xet Mar 27, 2013 12:42 AM

Which? You definitely shouldn't do them all.... I would try to go with a roll and camber first, then if they still don't fit see if a smaller tire would make them work, if not go for the pull.

dominate Mar 27, 2013 02:09 AM

You want to run these wheels that bad? In my opinion it would be a better idea just to buy aftermarket wheels fit to your car..

It's not really that strange to have to roll your fenders and stretch tires and run some camber to fit your wheels now in the day of the flush look...

I hate to bring this back up but, I really like these wheels. So my question is, what size adapters should be used?
