Hi guys/gals,

Quick question... will the wheels from my e39 fit directly onto the e60 without modification or need for spacers or use of The Force?

Thanks!

I'm sure they are the same 5 stud layout as some other member has pre 2003 style wheels fitted. Also I have M style 135's on mine and these are also fitted to the 3 series coupe. :thumbsup:

It should fit.. they have the same bolt pattern.. and i think the offset has a difference of 2mm..

I looked into it awhile ago, and I believe all you need are hubcentric rings.

On the E39 for 18" wheels BMW uses front offset ET:20 , rear ET:24

On the E60 Front ET:20 rear ET:32

These are for 8J front and 9J rear rims

Also I have M style 135's on mine and these are also fitted to the 3 series coupe. :thumbsup:

The Style 135 for the 3 series Saloon and coupe have totally different offsets from the ones for the 5 Series

E60Speed is absolutely right! The 135s on E46s that you see are NOT the same as the 135s on E60 Sport models! I know someone in the UK who thought they were, ordered a set because it was 'not so expensive' and wondered why they didn't work on his 530! The 135s for the E60 are now available as an extra.

Thanks for all the responses guys :))

Now I'll have to check if the rims I own are 8J front and 9J rear... I think I remember the guy having to put hub rings to fit them at the time of install but not sure if that's a good or bad sign.
