I'm looking into 21's for my E60 and wanted some advice and guidance from any members who are already running 21's.

I have a 545i which I am fitting an M5 front end to (fenders/bumper) so the fronts should fit with no issues at all.

What kind of offset would I need at the rear for a safe fitment with minimal rolling of the fenders?


Pictures for inspiration would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

sorry my friend I havent been on here in a while.

I'm running 21s although I do not know the offsets. I'm running 9in. front and 11in. rear though.

Here it is (on KW coilovers if you're curious)

I strongly urge you to get 21's
I live in downtown LA and daily drive my ///M and it knows about potholes, just don't hit them too hard and you're good
