Hello,

Just I just purchased an e60 2004 530i. at the moment it has the small BMW oem 16 inch wheels on them. Earlier this week I tried to put a set of 18inch 135m wheels from an E46 330ci ZHP. But when I put them on, they did not sit flush, they
were a little wobbly, and when I tightened them on, the wheels/brakes froze up.

Does anyone know why, and and if there is a solution.
Do hubcentric rings help me out?

Thanks in advance

Sorry that won't work especially off an e46.

The offset is wrong on it and they will not fit even with the rings.

It locks because the caliper is rubbing on the rim.

hope this helps.
