Does anyone have a rundown of which 18 inch wheels will clear the m5 brakes and have good fitment?

So far from what i've read, the 18 inch m5 reps and the 18 inch ASA wheels on tirerack fit.

How about VMR vb3's in 18 inch? or anything in the VMR lineup for that matter? I know its a little late but I feel like this information could be useful if we complied a list of wheels that Fit E60 M5's since its not as easy as other e60's cause of the larger brakes.

Have you taken into consideration the M5 hub center bore size?

The hub/bore size is the same as any e60 from what I've researched

go with the M184s, they're the best look and will cause you no headaches

I agree, I just saw this set on an M5 with 245/45/18 Conti Winter tires and it looked pretty clean, and I bet its pretty good in the snow as well.

Although I do not know if I would drive an M5 in the snow at all if I did not need to.

Clear all BBK? Is that true? I checked with VMR a while back when I was looking at buying "Skeeter's" BBK, and they said the VB3 wheels were not designed for BBK fitment. I'm running 18" VB3 on my 545.

If I let those breaks slip by with some bad info.
