Hey all. Got a question. I am looking at picking up a set of series 67 M Double Spoke wheels for my e60. My question is, will these fit okay? I am a total idiot when it comes to replacing wheels on my car. What, if anything, would I need to do besides having them mounted to work and look like they should?

Also, anyone here who has photoshop skills, could you photoshop a picture of a titanium silver e60 with a pic of these wheels? Thanks.

The rears are about alright, but the fronts will need very fat spacers. (about 30mm)

You will also need different tyre sizes

olli is so diplomatic.

The fact is, no they will not fit a E60, sorry.

Is that because of the size of the spacers or what? Can you be very specific here...I am sort of an idiot in this.

It's the offset. You need a smaller offset for the front. I think the 67 have a 26 offset. You need something around 12 to fit BMW.

These Style 67 wheels, they're e46 M3 wheels right? Looking at realoem, the offsets are ET:47 for the front and ET:26 for the rear. olli 535d is right, you're going to need 30mm spacers at a minimum. It's not feasible.

Not sure they are hubcentric either (made to fit your hub). I think that the OEMs for the E46 may be 74.1mm in diameter compared to the 72.56 (BMW spec.) for the E60. You would need rings to fill the space. Probably a vibration issue for you.

Any outside thoughts on whether this is correct?
