I have some m5 wheels that vame off of my totalled e39 that I want to put on my e60. I am being told that it is possible with some hub rings. Does anyone know where I can get some?

The DPE's I'm running came off a e39 m5 so I know it is definitely possible and the offsets work good too. I got my rings from a local shop but I know you can get those from any place that sells aftermarket wheels. some of our vendors should have them make sure you get the metal ones and not the plastic/rubber ones.

The E60 needs 19" wheels anyway and the offsets may be wrong too.

So maybe not

wait did it come off a e39 m5 or a non-m e39, mine were 19's made to fit the e39 m5 and they fit perfect on the e60. But I think if they are from a non m e39 they may not work.

different size centre bore to the E60... hubcentric ring might help
