Greetings guys,
My name is Paul and it has been my dream to get a new set of rims for my car, and I feel like i am coming close to getting some. I have been doing research and there is just so much information, offsets, hub centers, wheel width, tires that you have to take into consideration when purchasing wheels. I have my eyes set on these wheels here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17-5x120-Eff...ht_2148wt_1344

My question is , the info specifies the offset for these is +35mm which is compatible with a 3 series bmw. I have a 5 series 525i (2005) and when i checked the specs, My cars offset is 15-25. So that means the wheels i am looking at have a 10mm difference. I am running 225/50/17 stock tires with a stock ride height. So my question becomes, will those wheels fit and or not cause any problems without spacers? Ive searched over this forum and over GOogle and could not find similar posts to a question like this. Please shed some light on this issue for me. Or if there are any other reccommendations or facts that i should be aware of before finding wheels? thank you guys, I appreciate it!.
(these are my current stock wheels) http://e60.5post.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1293476397

No, those wheels will not fit unless you have an Xi (AWD) car.

So unless I run spacers, they will not fit. Okay thanks for the very quick reply. Appreciate it.
