Is this a common thing?

Donutz · 04-11-2017, 06:41 AM

Certainly not common. You would hear about it on forums if it were. Arthur seems like a smart chap, pulling his flaming car into a gas station.

Mismatched wheels - looks like an E46 style 45 on the back, and an E38 style 60 on the front? Makes me wonder how the car has been maintained and treated. That offset would be tight (47) on the back without a spacer, tight enough to rub and cause heat/sparks?

My guess is insurance fraud. Baby boomer realtor. What an awful combination.
