Can anyone tell me whether there are any issues running 20" rims on an E60?

Potentially looking at these ones.

do you have oem sport, oem non-sport, or aftermarket suspension

as long as the offsets and tire sizes are correct (and perhaps some slight fender rolling) you should be good to go...

post the specs of the wheels and I am sure members will chime in....a good number of members here run 20" wheels without issues...

The car is a '05 E60 530i M SPORT.

I will get exact specs on the rims and post soon.

Just don't get bigger than 20" on an E60 because it looks ghetto.

I'd say the majority of members here who run aftermarket wheels, go with 20s. Some don't rub, some do but that can be corrected. Like Gene said, getting the correct size and offsets and even type of tires would be a good start.

I had to roll my fenders for the rears not to rub, the fronts rub slightly on only the more serious dips. I would pick a different wheel though I've seen that one on too many Jeeps. Good luck

I have 20's & the car is lowered with H&R springs. When i had the Falken tires on the wheels they never rubbed, after a year when i got new tires *pirellis* SAME SIZE & ALL now they rub..strange, but maybe its got to do with the width of the tire or something
