Can I fit a 20 x 10.5 and 20 x 12.5 Wheels with 275/30/20 tires on the front and 305/25/20 tires on the rear on my E60? They were ordered to fit on a E46 M3. I do not have the Offsets. They are located out of town so I cannot test fit them. I would appreciate any input from Vendors, Wheel Guys and fellow members. They are gorgeous wheels with a 4" lip upfront and a 6" lip on the back. I know the M3 has flares, but their offsets are much higher than my E60.

Will they stick out too much? Will They Rub? I can roll fenders and I'm planning to install M5 Front Fenders, but what about the rears?

I remember once a member put on 305/25/20 tires on his rears, can't remember the width of the wheel? I think he got them from Michael at AcutePerformance???


Please Help, What concerns will I have if any?

DAMNNN!! Although I'm not expert, even an HRE 20x9 with 245 with a offset of 8 in front is a VERY tight room for me!! Unless you're going with wide body kit, I'm pretty positive they won't fit!! If you have coilover installed, then I'm 100% sure you won't be able to fit that 20x10.5 in fronts without a negative offset and extra camber, which will need you to have a widebody kit!! But again, I'm no expert, so hope other experts would chime in!!
Good luck though, if you're able to fit those, your car will be pure sex.

Yeah I'm thinking same thing, I am planning to install M5 Fenders upfront, but I wonder if it still is tight? The e46 M3 it was on has those wide body flares. I'm still not giving up, LOL Thanks for chiming in

Lmao! I almost bought these same wheels for my M5 but felt that they wouldn't fit properly even with M5 fenders so I'm gna order a custom built set. the owner is a really cool dude, seems to be on the up& up....
Buy them and just go to a body shop for a wide body kit/adjustment lol

I don't think the front will work at all I have 9.5's in the front and I am maxed out inside clearance and am very close outside clearance. M5 front fenders would help but I think they are only 10mm wider. The rears would need fender modification also. Good luck...
