Guys,
I think this should work, but I need someone to double check. Will a 20x9 wheel(all around) with a 40 Offset, fit a 05 530 with rear wheel drive? What is the max tire you can fit in the front?
Thanks

This has been discussed ad nauseum - however, the max for non-M5 E60's in front is 245/30/20 - the rears? It depends, most here run 275/25/20 but others have 285 or 295 without problems, it will depend on the tire brand I suppose. That +40 offset is a bit extreme for the non-Xi models though, not sure I would get those wheels.

Some are even running 255/30/20 fronts. It works, depending on your offset.
+1 on that offset for non-Xi

What about wheel spacers? Maybe 10mm in the front, 20mm in the back? Guys know any good deals out there on spacers?

40mm offset might rub on the inside with 9inch wide 20s. But you can always put some spacers on, I guess... still, I'd suggest a more conservative offset if you have a RWD car.
