Unlikely these Z4 wheels will fit. The offsets are probably too high.

They look like they're style #224 from the M versions of the Z4. (Also referred to as "M double spoke" style.)

I'm no expert on wheel fitments but I'm thinking that vegastrashed is correct that they won't fit the E60. The offset is likely an issue but also, to me, even the bolt pattern looks tighter. There are also other considerations like caliper clearance, etc.
Does someone have a way to get specific specifications on style #224?

FLbeamer, are these free?.......cause if you don't mind my saying so, these are not very impressive wheels. If you are getting them dirt cheap or free, try selling them & use the cash toward some 166s or the ones on the 08 550i the style, # escapes me.

Rudy is bang on the money, these are style 224 from the Z4 M .
the front offsets are ET42 and the rears ET30. Rears are not too bad offset wise, but the fronts need spacers of about an inch thick to sit right.
The rears, to sit in the arches nicely, could also do with at least 10-15mm spacers to sit well.

If it is the Z4 M version the fronts will be ET35 and rears will be ET20. A 12mm hubcentric spacer with longer wheel studs will be needed on the front. having essentially the same setup on my BBS's you wont like the small 225 on the front the turn in on a corner isnt great then it looks funny.
