Good day, everyone.
Coming soon, I will have an F25 X3 35d M Sport with 20 310M tires and runflats.
I could like the design even if I despise the ride quality (no adaptable suspension).
Staggered set of E83 standard 191M alloys; front-to-back offset is 8 mm, rear-to-back is 3 mm; so, the 191Ms would fit within the arches (although, I'm not sure whether the distance between the hub and the arch is the same for E83 and F25—anyone?).
With 10 mm up front and 5 mm behind, all four would sit 2 mm apart from regular wheels.
Is it okay to use shims here? If the offset is 2 mm off-center, it should still appear OK. The weight rating on the 191Ms should be OK since the E83 and F25 are almost identical in weight. The refurbisher has assured me that I will receive the right bolt length, M14s, and that the head will fit the 191Ms.
I need persuading on this, so any advise would be fantastic. Safety first, of course.
Are the bolts on shims really so lengthy and potentially dangerous?
Yours truly. I have reserved the refurbed alloys, therefore this is a serious inquiry.
I had planned to mount (BMW-starred) Bridgestone Turanza 6 XLoad tires on it.
Best regards
