Thanks!

Those wheels are from the 6seires sport pkg. They are 19 x 9 in the rear with an offset of 18. The 545 sport comes with rear 18 x 9 with an offset of 32. Thus the wheels of the 645 when mounted on the 545 are actually pushed out by 14 mm.
And the exellent pic taken from the rear of the vehicle shows the effect.

Now the question is, do the tires rub?

535dse what tire size do you have on the rear? Are they 275 35 19's that come with the 645?

Thanks once again for the pics.

I love those wheels, but I do like them more on the 645.

The wheels and tyres are directly from my Fathers 645 convertible.I didn't look at the tyre size, but they were huge compared to my 245/18's.Very wide.

I forgot to mention, after I took the photos I drove the car around the car park to see if they Rubbed.They didn't.
Not a conclusive test, I know but they didn't look like they would.

Yep! The 275's are 3cm wider than the 245's (The first number of tire size depicts the width of the tire in mm.)

Swweeet! Now I may as well think about getting the 645 wheels for my 545.

THANKS 535dse.

Just curious, did you change the wheels just for this forum and are you going to put back the old rims, or are you keeping the 6's wheels on your e60.

If you did, kudos to you. What a great thing to do for this forum.

thanks a lot for the pics and your effort . however, the wheels are nice but since they have the "tear drop" design, i think they match the rounder 6 body style better. overall, not bad looking though .
