What happens if I try to fit 5 series wheels on a E90?

ikbs · 11-09-2006, 07:26 AM

I found these 5 series wheels and they look sexy to me, looking at the offset its 20, what happens if I try to fit these rims ? or simply they won't fit? How about adding spacer? I don't have much of a knowledge about wheels.

Please give some advice!

The center bore is too large, the offset is also too low. This is not a good fitment. Spacers would make the fitment worse, not better. There are many great wheels out there that fit E90 cars properly, best to find those IMO.

Our list of fitments is here :
