sorry bout the noob question but i dont know much about rims and sizes.
what sizes will the 19" type III's fit on a 01 330ci with sport package suspension?

19x8.5? what does the 8.5 stand for? width?

do i need springs to drop it? if so much much should i drop it? should i roll my fenders? will it rub with 3 passengers? thanx!

yes 19x8.5 fits 330Ci. 8.5 is the width of the wheel.

you dont need to dop ur car, but u'll be left with ugly fender gap, so drop it and make ur car look awsome!

with 8.5 wheels, standard tire size will most likely be 235/35/19s you wont rub with that setup. and no need to rollfenders either.

do the type III have deep dish rims for the rear?

 

[lilherc79]

not for regular 3ers.

 

[tEckniks]

19x9? what about the tire sizes?

245/35/19 and 285/30/19?? i got this from another thread .. i was wonderin if u could explain what each number stands for.

 

[tEckniks]

would i need shocks? or i should just use the sport package one?

 

[lilherc79]

acs do not have 19x9 sizes. they have 19x9.5 but no lip difference. because of the offset of regular 3ers.

245/35/19

245: Width of the tread
35: Height of the tirewall (thickness)
19: Diameter of the tire.
