I was looking at placing either BMW M3 rims or speedline 2209 rims on my GS4, will the BMW ones fit. I can not seem to find the offset and lug pattern requirements for my GS. I appologize if my search missed this answer.

Different bolt pattern....it will not fit.

I think the offset won't be a problem, it's just the bolt pattern. You can have the wheels re-weld on the lugnut holes and re-drill them.

...or just buy different wheels!!

Thanks,
I will stick with the speedlines

Good idea! The OE E46 M3 wheels are whacked:

5x120 bolt pattern
72.5 centerbore
Front 18x8 +46
Rear 18x9 +27

The fronts are too inboard looking for the GS when compared with the rear.
Actually, the rear offset isn't bad- it would sit the same (relative to the fender) as:
18x9.5 +33
18x10 +39

Might require very minor fender rolling... but the bottom-line is the "fill and drill" technique (welding and re-driling) to change the bolt patterns is unsatisfactory.

Does anyone know the regular price for the speedlines shown above?

Also,

I was going to go with L-Tuned suspension, but will the 1" drop look funny with 19's vs. 18's. Should I change to the eibach/bilstein combo instead if I go with the 19's?
Thanks

Contact Tirereack for the regular prices... But I've seen the wheel before, and if I recall correctly, the 19s usually are in the high $400's

Should I worry about rubbing with these??
