Can anyone confirm: Will E39 wheels fit my E60? I'm not worried about the tire size, I'm more worried about the center bore size.

I found a set that is 17x7.5, 20mm offset, and a center bore of 74mm.

If someone fit an e39 wheel without any problems, please let me know.

17x7.5, 5x120 bolt pattern, 20mm offset (front and rear) should do.

By using Search mode I found this thread.

e39 model 32 17" Did not work with my e60 530d. Does not leave enough room
for the brakes.

No they have a different size centre bore to the E60...

Would a hubcentric ring help?

That would solve that problem. Still you might have the same problem I had. The brake calliper only
clears the inside diameter of the rim with 1 millimeter max. There is no room for dirt and
more importantly, ballance weights. My rim stuck.
