Hey all, a friend of mine bought 20" iForged wheels for his M3. He recently got in an accident and no longer wants the wheels. The wheels are still brand new in the box with the plastic stickers over the lips. I plan on buying them for my 2005 545i, Sport Package, Premium, Cold. I know the bolt pattern (5x120) will fit but was concerned about the offsets. I don't want the wheels sticking out too much and I like lip flushed with the fenders. Can any of you offer some insight to determine whether these wheels will be flushed or hit my shock base? I used a wheel offset calculator and the results showed they will fit, I just wanted some of your expert recommendations. The wheels specs are as follows:
Front: 20x8.5 ET 29 (3" lip)
Rear: 20x10 ET 23 (4"lip)
Front: 20x8.5 ET 29 (3" lip)
Rear: 20x10 ET 23 (4"lip)

Thanks Anzafin, I was thinking the same thing! Thanks for the confirmation! They are actually iForged Seneka's....and I really like them. Thanks for the info, I'll post pictures once mounted.

I love them Seneka's, congrats on the new wheels!
+15mm spacers on the front for a nice but not overly aggressive fit and the rears will fit fine but will not be very aggressive. I recommend a 5mm spacer and a fender roll the rear

Thanks Takman, I will definately get the +15 spacers for the front, and +5 spacers for the rear. I want it aggressive! Iam also gonna rock some H&R sport springs. I know it only lowers the car .5" with sport package. Would you recommend H&R race? I don't want it too low and tucked, what do you suggest?
