Those are the wheels I always see in Bimmer Magazine. They look nice. Not sure about the rears. For some reason, I think 285's in the rear may rub, but I could be wrong. Someone else should be able to help. Regardless, nice wheels. Looking forward to seeing them on your car.

If you don't disclose the offsets of the wheels in question, there is no correct answer.

Without the offsets it's a little bid "how long is a piece of string?"

In general the offsets of any 3 series, no matter if E46 or E90 require correction with spacers to properly fit a 5. So offset (ET) is key.

they look nice,, but im afraid those wheels are only available in 19s or 22s, so 20s for your E60 are out the question.

Theres many other black coluored rims on the market, that you can most certainly get on 20 size/.

The tyre sizes seem to be okay at first glance, concerned a little if any for the E90 rear, a bit to wide i would think

Anyway good luck.
