Like praisethelowered said, measure the offset. Here is a website to help you out with that

A little off topic but in response to the other post. I doubt iForged would change their name. They have been in the business for a long time now and have made a great name for themselves which makes me doubt the name changing rumor. You never know though.

so he wont let you testfit the wheel before you buy it? then walk away from the deal because they probably wont fit at all

If it's a flush fitment on an E46 M3 then you should be able to run them on the E60 with just front spacers (10-25mm). PTL (the poster above) ran some Volks from an E46 M3 with spacers.

I would do a test fit though, I don't see how mounting the wheel on the hub and loosely fitting 3 lugs to measure the offset will scratch or damage the wheels at all...

I agree with Takman. If it's E46 fitment, the offsets are usually in the range of et32 front and et25 rear. Takman's spacer recommendations are on point since a 15mm spacer will make the fronts et17, which normally is not flush if the wheels are 8.5 wide but since you'll have to run spacers (15mm ~ .75") your wheels will sit pushed out as if they were a 9" wide wheel. Depending on the tire size and ride height, some fender rolling may be necessary. It's still hard to tell unless you test fit though.
