Why not try them on to see how much clearance you have or need?

The forum feedback, dealer feedback and wheel suppliers all say the same, you need spacers. The only thing I would add to that would be the differing opinions on spacer size. I am however opting for the 13mm (if Lissy email me back that is)

...and my guess will be: 13mm spacers (as he has recommended to me and to my friend with his 535dT)

Rysed you are correct! The size is 13mm with 10 bolts longer in length to suit the spacers. Thorsten (we're on first name terms now..) will be sending by courier tomorrow at a cost of 105 euros all in. Thats delivery to Scotland, land of brave heart and kilted warriers

...and I paid just under 100 but that was shipping to around to corner to austria. I hope everything works out well. I have looked around quite a bit - the other vendors turned me off because either the price was too high or they wanted me to unscrew a bolt, measure it and get back to them. thorston has a e60 so he knows his stuff...

greetings to the kilted warriors
