I believe the Breyton's require spacers and the VMR are perfect fit for the E60 as far as I know. I really don't know much about offsets at all..

Waiting for the specs on the Neez still.

question for the wheel guru's

From what I understand they only made the Neez for the E60's in either:

19 x 8.5 15mm offsets fronts and 19 x 9.5 25mm offsets rears

or

19 x 8.5 15mm offsets fronts and 19 x 10 25mm offsets rears

If that's the case, and they end up being either of the above specs, would they fit on my car either way w/no spacers or hub rings?

 

We found you your new wheels, Fugs! Those 19" Black Neez wheels that Tony mentioned are for you! Get them!

 

 

I was looking at BBS wheels on tirerack

The BBS LM's and LMR's in 19" fitment have the following offsets

LM - Front 17MM, Rear 25 MM

LMR - Front 13MM, Rear 25 MM

So I think Neez offsets of 15 and 25 will definitely work W/O spacers

Also the LM rears are 19x10 while the LMR rears are 19x9.5... god knows why they are different. My BBS LM rears are 18x10 and work fine.

I think they will be a direct bolt on if the center bore is right, that I don't know. You could call Neez I'm sure they would tell you or the seller could measure them and tell you.

Jesus I feel like I have much into this as you do

 

These should be fine. The hub size is the same for the M5 as it is for the standard E60's. I don't believe Brian (6speed) used hub rings on his wheels. Tony can probably confirm this for you, but I'm pretty sure they were a direct fit. Tony - Please confirm.

As for the offsets and widths, they sound perfect. You can probably do spacers to widen it out a bit further, but they should be perfect.

 

Fugs

If the hub size for the M5 and regular E60 is the same and the M5 doesn't need centering rings you wont either.

 

Actually, they are. I just realized this. Duh! Hahahaha! How do I know? My RAD's were on a 545 before the M5.

Also, the specs are fine. Here's how you know. These are the OEM 172's on the 550. You gotta love realoem.com.

19 x 8.5 ET18
19 x 9.5 ET32

The difference is negligble to the Neez wheels. If anything, spacers on both sets could be used to make the wheels look nice and flush against the wells. Also, if you run the numbers in the Wheel Offset Calculator, it's nothing drastic.

This is another great tool to use for future reference.

 

Great info you two...

Really appreciate the help...

Thanks!

 

Now that we've figured that out I can go to bed... Have an 8:30 conference call... Mondays...

 

Here's my question... Which one's are cheaper? lol
