My Ride: 2004 545i
Default

Hi guys I have a 2004 545i and I want to buy a set of oem m5 rims so I can replace my original ones. Currently I have 18's all around. The M5 rims are 255/40/19 in the front and 285/35/19 in the back. the two front rims are 19x8.5 with offset 12 and the rear rims are 19x9.5 with offset 28. Can somebody tell me if these will fit my 545?? . I want to make sure they will fit my car before I buy them.
Thanks in advance

Kinesis there's a box located in the upper right hand corner of the page. Try typing 'm5 wheels' in, you should find at least 5 to 8 pages worth of threads regarding the m5 wheels. Good luck

search button.

i will answer it because its an easy question but in the future use the search function.

the rims will fit for sure. the m5 tires will rub on the regular e60's. you will need to get tires that arent as wide in the front. 245/40/19 instead of the m5 255/40/19 tires and everything will work.

you can also get some spacers to push those wheels out a little more flush with the fenders to give a more aggressive look. it isnt a requirement but a lot of members prefer that look.

I run 245/35/19 in the get and 285/30/19 in the rear. Most guys run 275's in the rear I have no rubbing.
