Dear friends,

I have a set of style 135 M wheels for sell(originally on my e60 523 m sport).

Will this set of rims fit other BMW cars as well?

Thank you for the help

I think the offset of 20 is unique to the E60? (The E46 is ET47 and E90 is ET34)

They will also fit the old E34 5 series. Although the E90/91 offset is as colejl states, these will still fit without fouling the arches. They will sit in there nicely and fill the arches a little better than the standard wheels. 3 series needs different tyres though and E34 5series would usually have 235/40, but should also be fine with 245/40
They would also go on 6 and 7 series, but the question remains if they are desirable on these. (7 series would need different tyre size again)

If someone wants to machine up the centre bore by 1.5mm, they will also fit the E39 5 series.

Olli,

I think I'm gonna go with the 135's on my 530XI - Don't think I will have any issues with them, well besides they're be a bitch to clean. Any thoughts on what to look for when I purchase them in the spring?

TIA

This 135M 18X8 43mm offset model is standard on Canadian 530Xi with M-Sport package. You should use the same size front and back, with 245/40-18 tires. Just put Rejex or a coat of good wax on them to make clean up easier:

As Blah has already mentioned, be careful with the offset on the X-drive models.
I read some people were experimenting with spacers for the x-drive cars, but I am sure there is a reason, why there are 23mm difference on the standard E60 and the x-drive E60 offset.
