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'm beginning to agree C for sure..
What do you think about fitment based on the info below?

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

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.

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.

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

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.
