Hello All,

I just purchased my 05' 545 and very excited. I have a question though, I still have a set of 19" iforged wheels that are really nice from my e46 m3 that I sold. They are 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the back. I know the backs have offsets in the 20's+ and these wheels fit my M all the way and were very flush with those big fenders. Will these fit my e60? I dont mind running spacers. Tires are 245 fronts and 275 rears

Thank You,

 

E46 M3 wheels will fit with spacers. I was looking into this option when I was looking for wheels. Most E46 M3 wheels (in the size you have) have 35-40 mm offset for the front and 20-28 mm offset in the rear. It would be great if iForged would give you the specs on the wheels but they won't. You could try to measure the offset yourself. After researching this for my car, I came up wit the following. Depending on the offset you will need 20-25mm spacers for the front (20mm should be fine) and 0-8mm spacers for the rear. If were you I would just get the 20mm spacers for the front and use nothing in the rear. If you like the look and have zero issues (you shouldn't) I would leave it. I would avoid using spacers if you really don't need to. Hope this helps.

for M3 wheels...front will need approximately 15-18mm spacer... rear should be fine without spacer... another 10mm rear spacer will look better too...

good luck

 

They should fit. I have the same car, 05 545i. I have a set of BBS LM's but in 18's from my M3. 18x8 and 18x10. The rears bolt right on, the fronts I use 20mm spacers with longer bolts from Turner Motorsport. They work great.
