I like the M3 19" style #67 and I also like the M style #193. Will these fit on an E60 545i and is there anything special that would need to be done to make them fit? If anyone is running either of these can you post up some photos?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Other than the width, the key factor you need to consider is the "ET" value, which is the depth of the hub. The standard ET value on the E60 is ET20, this applies to 8x17 or 8x18 rims. For the wider rims on the rear, i.e. 9x18 or 9x19 the ET value is ET32. This means that the hub is 12mm deeper in the rim, so that the wider rim on the rear still fits within the rear arch.
So these are the standard values and you then need to calculate if rims with other ET values can be made to fit, e.g. with spacers.
This is a link to a German web page that has ALL BMW rims, including their ET value. BMW-Treff Felgenkatalog If you click on the picture of the rim on the left hand side, it will provide you with the specs on the right hand side.
Using the explanation above and the ET values on the web page, you will be able to see which rims will fit on your E60.
A quick look at the rims you suggest would suggest they won't fit. The ET values are simply too big, even if you started using large spacers. I personally would not go that route.
