I'm trying to bid on some 18" wheels , they are M6 replicas.
(I know about the well known quality issues but the price is good)

anyways..... it says dimensions are 8,0x18 5x120 ET34
can anyone tell if these will fit on my E60?

thx

not the correct offset, but you could make them fit with a 15-25mm spacer each corner. (15mm would be absolute minimum)

If you want to do that for a set of replicas is the other question. 5/120 pcd is correct, centre bore 72.5 -0/+0.1

Offset (ET34) is the distance from the centre of the wheel to where it mounts on the hub in mm. The 5x120 is the PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) which means 5 bolts on a 120mm diameter circle.
