My Ride: 545 SE Auto in Black
hi guys new here I have just sold my 330 convet in individual atlantis blue and brought myself a e60 545. I have a few questions on wheel offsets so theses will be one of many questions that I will have for you
Question 1. I wish to order the iforged seneka wheel in 20" with a 9* 20 front and a 10 or 10.5 * 20 rear. What offset would I require for the front? I am fitting the F carbon 6 pot brakes up front with a 380mm brake disc (rotor) so would I need to run a 10mm spacer?, if so could I not just get iforge to make me an alloys for a standard e60 with a difference of 10mm in the offset? Also with a 10.5 at the rear would I get any rubbing issues? I plan to lower the car on eibach springs and also fit the eibach anti roll bars.
heres a pic of my old ride

welcome. nice 330 you had. well the ideal offset on the e60 is ET 20 all around. it depends on the offsets of those wheels. for the front wheels to be flushed with the fender, and offset of about ET 12 is desired. for the rear wheels to be flushed with the rear fenders, an offset of about ET 16 is desired. hope this helps. enjoy the forums.

daah, so he can get a prettier looking car!!!!
Thanks for all your replies. Havin spoken to the wheel chap he said 15 offset for the front 9 * 20 and 25 for the rear with a 10.5 * 20 alloy, so thats what I will go for. I have the ebach kit and anti roll bars to go next monday as well as the carbon interior trim , once they are on I'll get some pics up

Westside that is one seriously Phat 330 you had there!!
As for the 545, sounds like a good step up, 10.5J on the rear may cause ome rubbing issues but nothing that rolling back the rear arches (fenders).
Looking fwd to pics of the new beast!
