Does anyone here have this configuration?

Front 20"x9" - 245/40

Rear 20"x10" - 275/35


I had a problem to place the front's. I needed to adjust the spring plate at the arm suspension to fit the front wheels.

I am thinking about lower the car with an Eibach Pro Kit, but I am afraid about have fenders problems.

Those wheels are not made for the E60 but for the E65.
Offset is ET24.

The part numbers you give are for a 7 Series, the Style 149 is not made for the E60, thats why you are having problems with the offset.

And the biggest BMW use on the front is 8" these are 9"

Spacers may help

They say all kinds of non E60 wheels are for it


They may work with a 5mm spacer to get the offset correct
Im not shure, a good wheel shop should be able to help
