Thumbs up

Quick question, Will wheels with these offsets fit an E60?

19 x 9 +40 front
19 x 10 +23 rear

TIA

I doubt it. The rears are ok, but the fronts would be the question.
The 124s have a 20mm offset in the front.
The 166M's have a 12mm offset in the front.

I think the 40mm is way too large.

I think jsal has it right. The rears would be OK, but the fronts won't work. On the fronts, the clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 33mm LESS.

Try out this wheel offest calculator.

Thx for the comments, I'm still a little confused. The seller of these wheels is claiming this is what he has on his e60..I'm starting to doubt him. They are Maya STM 19".

Find out which E60 - the xi's have a different offset. That 40mm offset on the front means the rim is farther inset into the vehicle. As standard 18" 124 is a 20mm offset.
