The Alpinas look like 20", that is the most the regular E60 will allow without any work and I think I've read in other threads where they still rub with 20" but you would have to wait for someone who actually has 20" job on their car to respond.

Again, Alpina does not make a 20" wheel; 19's (their recommendation for the E60) or 21's (for the E65/7 series); that's the basis of the question about the picture....

Are these 20" or 21" ???

What do you think ?

Those are 19" Alpina wheels and the exhaust is an Eisenmann.

I have looked at fitting 21" wheels to my E60 (Hartge Classic II) but the problem on a non M5 is that the wheel would hit the "saucer" of the front spring unit unless you would fit a large spacer (20mm or more) which would mean narrower wheels or rubbing wheels and heavy wheel bearing loads. That's why I think Hartge only offers their Classic II 21" wheel for the M5 and not for other E60 models. The M5 apparently has different front suspension parts than a regular E60.

The problem is also that you can only be sure they will fit or not if you actually buy them and I don't want to spend 6000 Euro on a 21" set of wheels and then find out they don't fit!

Flavio, thank you, and how do we know this? Wonder what type of springs are on it? One of the best looking E60's I have seen, would like to see more!
