Hello Everybody
I'm a new owner of '06 530Xit. I love this car. This is my first BMW by the way.
I started to look for a new set of wheels for my touring. Can somebody tell if wheels on the photo are going to fit my car ? I don't know much about them, only that they are 18 in, and bolt pattern is 5 x 120 mm and tires are 245 / 40. They look like star spoke 123 but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any input.

You'll need to determine what the offsets are to make sure if they fit or not.

Those wheels need to have an offset of ET43 or they will not work. If they came off a standard, RWD E60 530, then they will NOT work.

Hi,
for the x-drive models there are approx. these offset limits:
front axle: OS 30 ( absolute maximum with an 8,5" rim and 245 tyres )
rear axle: OS 18 is o.k. OS 15 might also be possible ( also with 8,5" rim and 245 tyres ).
I can take pictures of my 560X and post it, if you want ..
Regards Peter

I talked about offset limits and not original offset 
To the OP: Just use this tool as a guide:

OEM Specs can be found, here:
