Hi everyone

Its snowing as hell over here in Europe, so I need some 18" for my E60 M5 as a snow setup. Will a set of Enkei 18"x8.5 rims, 5x120 with a 38 offset fit? Snow performance is all I care about, so I really want the 18" wheels, then in the summer I will use it as a track setup.

Thanks

Sometimes I use tirerack.com website to find out if certain wheels fit. If they carry what your looking at they will list them as a potential winter set up. They test fit everything so if their site says it fits, it will... Good luck

38 offset is too high for the M5.....your OEM front is currently ET12 and the rear is ET28. If you use 8.5" rims on all 4 corners, you need something closer to the front ET...12 or thereabouts.

Did those others come off a 3 series?
