Hello ppl..

i need to buy new rims for my baby.. The only thing that i know is that i wanna go with some BBS model.. there r few things that i would like to know.. On what should i pay attention!? I wanna buy a 19" rims but i dont know all the other facts about the rims..

I just know that rims for E46 can not be used on E60 model because of dimensions of some whole on rims! So i am confused! What do i need to know about the rims?


Thnx in advance!

Sorry for my English.. It sux!

The best option (BMW recommended sizes) is:

8.5Jx19" ET18 with 245/35/19's front
9.5Jx19" ET32 with 275/30/19's rear

Try not to deviate too much from this...

Check out the 19" BMW style 101's in the first "Mind-Candy" 545i Gallery Photos" link in my sig below. Where do you live Sasha? Vienna? Fill in your location information to help us get to know you. Oh, I should add that most, if not all, BMW rims are made by BBS. Mine are. And, to get specific info on BBS rims for your car go to tirerack.com and fill in and save your vehicle information. Then, select wheels, and you will be shown all the wheels Tire Rack carriers for your car--including quite a few BBS wheels.

Will try all that but, i dont know what should i look for on the rims..

5 wholes for screws, and the dimension of the center whole should be 120?? Right or wrong? That is all the trouble i have! This dimension of the center whole.. 120 mm??

Servus rsyed..

You are welcome. The info given at tirerack.com will be exactly pertinent to your car, and the various details also will be given through links. I imagine your English is good enough for you to figure out what is being said.

Hallo Sasha,

i am 99% sure that rims from a x5 will not fit on a e60 because the x5 rims have an higher offset (einpresstiefe) than we do in the E60.
