I have a 2007 530i with 245/40-18 tires on style 123 8x18 wheels offset 20. I am looking at a set of 2013 style 184 staggered M series wheels in 8x18 fronts and 8.5x18 rears, offset unknown (possibly 14 or possibly 20 according to the stats I can find). And do I have to worry about different size bore or is that fairly standard (famous last words)?
My tires are relatively new so I'm looking to put my existing tires on the new wheels. Does it seem like I can do this without any problems?
Your knowledge will be appreciated.
Thanks
Are the style 184 wheels OEM or replicas? Here are the stats for the OEM: BMW wheel style 184 | BmwStyleWheels.com According to this, these are all 8 inches wide. Those offsets should work for your car. Just make sure the hub bore is 72.5 mm.
From what I can tell based upon the info stamped on the back of the wheel, they appear to be OEM BBS wheels manufactured in Austria. Is the offset stamped on the inside of the wheel along with the width/diameter (which I found)?
The stats at BmwStyleWheels.com only show 8" wide wheels in style 184; they don't give any info for an 8.5" wide wheel. It's the rear fit that I'm concerned about: where can I locate the offset for the rear wheels?

Can you take a pic and show us? Otherwise, the seller may be able to shed some light.
I'm told the seller has had these wheels sitting around for at least 5 years and seems to have faint memory of what car they came off of or any other details; right now he's trying to clear out his garage space. I'll be going back to see them tonight and will most certainly take pictures and post them in the morning.
Here are a few photos of the wheel, followed by the engraving on the inside barrel of the wheel. What are you able to discern from these numbers?
Thanks
I think I am now able to answer my own question: these wheels will NOT fit my E60 530i.
They are not style 184 wheels made for the E60, but rather style 400M wheels made for 3 and 4 series cars. The offsets for the front/rear are 34/47 which I believe is incompatible with the 530 offset of 20.
I don't see style 400 showing on the bmwstylewheels.com page so was never able to make a solid analysis. With the part number showing on the barrel, it led me to this model.
