If I remember correctly this was mentioned before couple weeks back that you need spacers to make it work. That's if I remember correctly

Ya there nice, but you wouldn't have to get them in E90 offset. Antti also recently just bought a set you should ask him. I wouldn't mind a pair myself

You will need spacers. If you don't know the offsets of those wheels, do this:
1) Mount the wheels on your car but don't drive it.
2) Measure the gap between the side of the tire and the wheel well edge (front and rear). Like this:

3) Go and buy spacers as thick as you measured in front and rear. Buy longer bolts too.

I guess you will need spacers something like 15mm in front and rear, but to be sure about the exact thickness, you have to measure it.
Here's a short article about choosing spacers: http://www.autocityimports.com/blog/...ers-what-size/

No, you don't need to modify the hub, because the E90 has the same size hub (72,6mm) as the E60.

Great Diagram Antti on showing how to measure what size spacers you need, this may come handy in my future

I'm running e90 rims. You just need to throw some hub centric spacers on there.
