Rear fenders, ROLLED - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Does anyone know of a E34 with `SLIGHTLY` rolled rear fenders?

I would like to put 295-305 tires and dont want to spoil the looks of the E34.

BTW, I dont like the AC Schnitzer S5`s rear fenders. S5`s rear fenders look rough, exeggerated. I would love to keep/preserve oem style.

Just a little bit of rolling.

Mine are rolled. Done by one of the previous owners. Running 285's on the back with 15mm spacers (on a 10" wheel)... Not sure of the wheel offset... Not much room to the strut and only ~3mm to the fender.

Would you please take a couple of CLOSE UP photos from the fenders so that I can see with more detail?

Do you think it is possible to put 295 tires?

I am thinking about rolling the front one as well... so I can fit 265 slicks in all 4 corners, with a 10mm spacer in the front to not rub in the inside suspension....

I like your muffler. What type is it, and how do you like it ?

No idea what kind of exhaust it is... It's a single 4" pipe from the resonator back. Looks like it was custom made. No markings I can see. Sounds fantastic. Loud, but deep and subdued, no rasp.

DaytonaM5: Here's a closeup of the back wheel... I'm betting you could cram 295s in there with the right choice of offset/spacer but it would be a tight fit. With 20mm spacers - this setup rubs the inner fender (though just barely) and with 15mm spacers - there's only a few mm to the shock.

thank you very much.

daytonaM5 · 15th June 2009, 01:29

do you think previous owners added lips to the fenders or just pushed them?

The problem is space inwards, towards the shocks. Im running 10" BBS rims with a 10mm spacer and 265 rubber, and it's a tight fit. Even with this setup I'm pretty close to the arches too

Why do you want to put a 295-305? For an NA engine I can't imagine you needing anything wider than 255 if you want a nice handling car...
