E34 Stud Pattern

[(steven)]

My E34 BMW 535 has finally expired with a cracked head. Before I ship it off to the scrap yard I want to get the £300 of brand new rear tyres off the back.

All I need is a pair of really cheap wheels to stop the back of the car hitting the ground when it goes to the scrappy. Not to much to ask you would think, but having phoned round all my local scrap yards not one can offer up a set. (There are loads on ebay but wheels don't go through the post that well).

Does any one know of any other car wheels that match the 5 stud pattern? It just needs to fit. I heard jag wheels might do it? They don't have to be perfectly balanced; it just needs to survive being towed off my drive way without damaging the ground.

any 3 / 5 series 5 stud wheels should fit including the steel wheels.

suggest use existing wheels to get to scrap yard then ask crane operator to hold car up while you take them off. Just leave two wheel bolts on per wheel, hand tight and you will have them off in no time.

I do this when i am scrapping the car but want the engine box and suspension, everything is loose and the crane operator lifts the car off the engine and box, leaving it on my trailer, saves a lot of grief.
