Hey does anyone know where I can get replica bmw rims that would fit a 2nd gen gs4? They look like bbs rims? And also, what's the ideal width for 19's without having to roll the fender? Thank you

Say no to replica rims. All the BBS reps that are out are known for failure in multiple area's and i have had a friend crack one on a G35 with 245 35's on a 19X9 wheel. No stretch properly inflated etc.. Another broke one on a BMW 3 series with a 245 30"s series and same thing cracked in the same area in rear at he edge of the lip.

I'm sure many would like to see close up pics of the 315's and 325's if you have them.

as long as you shave the rears, you have a ton of room back there. im running 19x11.5 in the rear with a minor camber adjustment..
