Wheel/tire sizes on 540 and Offsets

peteinpa · 01-12-2022, 06:46 AM

Hi folks. I am looking at purchasing wheels/tires for my 540. Seeing a couple of ads for 8 series setup locally. Front sizes are typically 275/35/20, rears are 285/35/20. I am wondering if the fronts would fit without issues. Less concerned on rears. Offsets are +28 all around for one set I am interested in. Does anyone have any insight to fitment. +28 seems aggressive for the 540, flush is fine but don't want any poke or rubbing problems.
Thanks

Compare the old wheel/tire front specs with the new front (and old rear with the new rear) using a calculator site like: www.willtheyfitcom

If the 8 series tires are a different size than the 5 series…but the wheels are doable…you could simply mount 5 series tires on the 8 series wheels. Again, use the calculator site to see if they fit without rubbing the suspension or the fenders.
