I'd sure like to get rid of my steelies because they are SO heavy, and because it is the single biggest feature that makes my car look like a patrol vehicle.
I've read this forum exhaustively and while I've learned a bunch I'd like some confirmation that these wheels will work.
I've got a 2014, and found some rims off a BMW. They are 8Jx18 ET34 in the front and 8.5Jx18 ET37 in the back. Seeing as they are only 10mm less offset than the stock rims, will I have a problem with them rubbing the fender wells?
I'm not desperate to change the rims, so if I'm going to make more problems that I solve, I'll pass on these and keep looking.
Please let me know what you think.

Will these BMW rims work?
Re: Will these BMW rims work?
They should fit, the camaro wheels im running are 8Jx20ET35 and 9Jx20ET40 which is pretty close in offset. The fronts fit no problem. The rears did have a slight rub at full suspension compression, but was solved with rolling the rear lip. This was with a 27in diameter tire(255/35r20). I have now switched to a 27.5in diameter tire in the rear (275/35R20) and so far rub free.
I am at stock height, if you are lowered they probably will not fit without serious rear fender clearance work.

I'm just going to run the stock size tires. If you're running 20s though, these should be alright.
