I want to buy aftermarket rims (I'm thinking 18") and need to know minimum/maximum offset sizes...can anyone help me out?

I checked old posts, and noticed 20mm is the norm. Thinking of buying used 45mm offsets off a guy who had them on a 1998 325i, probably won't work huh?

Thanks!

from the 3er those offsets are too high, but would be fine on an xi e60. ideal diameter size for e60 has been 19"-20" .

No, they won't work. If you go staggered then ET12 is around the lowest offset up front and ET17 or so is the lowest you can use in back....assuming 8.5" f and 9.5" rear with 245 F and 275 R tires.
