looking to replace a couple of my Mims, offset 13, have found a set with an offset of 25. Any ideas if they willl fit?

i have offset 24 with 5mm spacers, no troubles at all.

If I'll need spacers I might be better off going for a set with an offset of et13 - I doubt I'll get this set of Mims with the offset of et25 for less than £250 as there's 5 of them and then I'll have to get spacers. I've got another set of wheels with an offset of et13 in mind, they're a bit more money but possibly better in the long run as I won't need to buy spacers.....

ive run cars with spacers for ten years not had a problem as I don't buy the crappy universal ones. you will be fine with hubcentric spacers.

I run 3 piece splitties that are 25mm offset. I use 20mm spacers on the back n 15mm on the front.

spacers are fine aslong as you buy decent ones

Mims seem to be more available in Et13 so I wouldn't bother with et25. I've had both et13 and et25 and they just aren't designed for BMWs! ET25 mims don't even fit E30s even though they're offset and size are the same as standard E30 15" BBS, the spokes don't clear the brake calipers. With spacers they will fit, but I would opt for another set of Et13s.

That's what I needed to know!

Have sorted myself a new set of Mims (et13!) and pick them up from "thetomc" next week - happy days!
