Hello everyone,

My questions is would the m5 19"wheels fit ok on a normal e60 sport suspension car, or do you need something like adaptors to have them installed?

Thanks

Do a search. There is a lot of info out there. It can be done, however the stock M5 tires cannot be used.

Wheels fit, tires have to be different size.

in summary, you can use the rear m5 tires but not the front (will rub).

It can be done, but you have to use my tires : 245/35 and 275/30 instead of M5 tires (255 and 285) .
Bye!
