is it possible to put 124's on a 530xi?
#1
just like the title says, i know the answer is no. Is it because of the offsets? and is it possible to get spacers or something so that the wheels will work with the 530xi?
Thanks guys

Nope, all E60 shares the same 72.5mm hub/centerbore... but true for the offset we are on high/big offset on the xi model.

Offsets are different + the hubs are smaller on standard e60 at 72.56 mm, whereas on the Xi models it's a 74.1 mm hub.

Which version of style 124? The RWD version or the xi/AWD version? The answer is actually yes at least one of the Admin here using it. Yes the offset is the main cause. Spacer will push the wheel further out.

Yup, they will work no problem just stick out a bit and you don't want to add spacer it will make it further out.

they are off of my 2006 550i, so RWD. So the answer is to get spacers, or just let it be and they should work with xi's just stick out more
