5Zigen fitment

Which of the size options for this wheel would give me the fewest clearance issues on a third gen, and what sort of adapters and spacers would i need to make them work and where would I get such adapters?
Thanks and sorry for my ignorance... I have no experience with wheel fitment at all.

Re: 5Zigen fitment

So I take it that none of those are anywhere near close?

Re: 5Zigen fitment

its hard to read that fitment chart but im guessing no. Just go on summit racing and pick out some rims. There selection chart is much better and post any questions on here after.

Re: 5Zigen fitment

That chart is as clear as it could possibly be, for a person who understands it....But of all those wheels, only 5 have the correct lug circle & would still require more $ to be spent on spacers.

Do yourself a favor & buy direct fit wheels that fit correctly & do require you to run double the number of lug nuts & spend more $ on spacers.

Go to Tirerack.com to see what it out there. To see more that what they "say" will fit your car. Then look up a 2000 BMW 328i & look for wheels that show the backspacing as less than 5", to fit on all 4 corners. The rear wheels can have a little more, or even more than "just a little" backspacing depending on how much cutting or BFH work you are willing to do.

Re: 5Zigen fitment

none of those will fit like OEM

but if you like the "hella flush" look (google it), you'll want the Mustang lug pattern, 5 hole 114.3 and you'll need a 1.25" adapter from eBay 4.75 to a 4.50

for reference;
+20 will stick out ~1/2" in the rear 10.5" wide wheel.
+24 roughly ~1/4" in the rear 10.5" wheel
+27 roughtly ~1/4" in the front 9" wheel

with 17" I would go with: front 8" +25/9" +27 rear
18"- 8.5 +25 front/9.5 +20 rear but need a fender roll.
19"- I would go with +20 but need a fender pull all around or wide body kit.

here's mine
