I was surfing some 3er forums and stumbled on a few Iforged wheels that sparked some interest for me. I know Iforged makes custom offsets and does not display them on their wheels. If these wheels are "so called" perfect fitment on an e92, what would be the closest offset guestimates?
The specified details were 19x8.5, 19x10 and fitment for an e92. Offsets maybe in the low ET 30s? Would these fit ok on an e60? I know I would need hub rings since the center bore is different.
If anyone could please enlighten me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

They are probably +3X in the front and 2X in the rear. For the E60 in 8.5 width front wheels you probably want a +15-25 offset and the rear in 10 in. width you probably want +20 or even lower for aggressive fitment. You could always try fitting them on your car and see how they turn out?!

Ah yes you are right.. both ARE 72.56. A simple google search could produce that answer!
Not sure what I was thinking last night..
Still, the main issue would be the offsets. I don't need suuper aggressive fitment, but something that "fits" at least. Would you guys say ET20 all around would be most ideal for e60s?
Thanks for the replies so far. My best bet may be to test fit them i guess..

For ex: 19x9 / 19x10 (or 20s for the matter) would be fine with ET20.

So has anyone ever tried anything like 19x8.5 ET30 front and 19x10 ET25 rear? Anyone forsee any problems with this? Basically since the offsets in the front are higher, that just means it won't be as flush with the fenders right? Plus the rears should be perfectly fine, I just may need some spacers in the front to make it flush?
To my understanding of offsets, the lower the offset number, the farther the center face is from the edge of the lip, and vice versa. Correct?
