I'm looking at rims that were on an e46 M3. My question is, with widths of 8.5 and 10, not knowing what the exact offset is, but knowing it fits an e46 M3, would it be a pain in the ass to make this work with my 05 545i sports package? What would I have to do spacer wise to make this look nice? Thanks!

we've gotta have the offsets to be able to help you with that one man...sorry. the offsets will determine whether spacers are needed or not...

E46 M3 offsets are around et35 in the front and 22 in the rear. So you could get away w/o spacers in the rear but you'd need 15mm in the front. Let me know if you need spacers.

Thanks for the help, but I declined a set of TSW Crofts, that are no where near as concave enough for me as a wheel without a lip should

The E60 will require a low offset in both front and rear of the car. As others have mentioned, you can most definitely get the wheels from your E46 M3 to fit, however, you will need to run a spacer up front to push the wheels out further.
