Hi since abandoning the totally useless Dunlops RFT I've been " without protection" so to speak!

A guy on Ebay is offering a 16" E46 space saver wheel . Does anyone know whether the wheel will fit ? I'm unconcerned with diameter , ( just a 40 mph get home option ) but what kind of wheel boss does the E 60 have ? All I understand is that it has 5 nuts! I need more knowledge!

Thanks in anticipation

Check the offset... E46 uses high offset that may cause clearance problem w/ your strut and/or brake caliper...
Wheel boss sizes means hub size? If it is I think it's 72.5mm should be the same between E60 & E46.
