      You'll need to chose your tires correctly to fill in the wheel well more. Link in my sig shows you what 18's look like on these cars. Just go to the last or next to last page.

      Looks nice, I see you put 9.5wide in the rear
      Whats the back spacing on them to get them under there

      I can't remember honestly. The rims are factory BMW M-Parallel rims. They came on 5 and 7 series cars around 2000. If you do a google search, you should find the info but the numbers will be in mm's. I used 3/4" adapters to make the rims fit. A search in the wheel and tire section should get you the number in inches. 9.5" rear rims are a common choice for people wanting a wide rim with factory tubs.

      17s can look good, just need to get the correct size tire, nothing too low profile
