style 149
Im picking up a set of style 149 from 750i sport package, i think the width and offset works on a E60, but just want to make sure, and wonder how they would look on a E60?
THanks in advance

My Ride: 2010 535i M Sport 6MT
Model Year: 2010
The largest OEM fitment I can find for the E60 is:
8.5x19 et18, 29 lbs, front
9.5x19 et32, 29 lbs, rear
Mixed tyres Front axle 245/35R 93Y, Rear axle 275/30R19 96Y Tyres
e.g. Style 172
Style 149 is off the E65/66 7-series:
9x10 et24, 34 lbs, front
10x20 et24, 36 lbs, rear
Mixed tyres Front axle 245/40R20 Y, Rear axle 275/35R20 Y (E65/66 tires, incorrect for E60)
Mixed tyres Front axle 245/30R20 Y, Rear axle 285/25R20 Y (correct for E60)
Tire sets available are Michelin Pilot Sport SP2 or Pirelli PZero Nero. The Goodyear or Yokohama sets require 10.5-inch wide rear tires.
Example, fitting the Style 149 in place of the Style 172:
Front:
Inner Clearance: 12mm LESS (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
Outer Position: SAME (position of the outside edge of the wheel)
Rear:
Inner Clearance: 2mm MORE
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 14mm
The experts can chime in, but I think those variances are workable - unless you have xDrive. Mechanically, the E60 can handle ET from 15 to 32 mm. The "correct" ET depends on the wheel width, the brake caliper, strut clearance, rubbing and your personal preference.
I look forward to your post-installation report.

E60
i currently using the Yspoke style 149 on my e60 for the winter 
it's sitting perfectly and no rubbing at all
even with 4 grownups & loads of my son's belonging in the trunk..
and the car lowered with eibach spring & oem struts
the tires i'm using
245/35R20 - front
275/30R20 - rear
since i'm using eibach springs & oem strut the front is a little bit tucked in..
too low for my taste, been thinkin to buy coilovers for the next mod,
so that i can raise the front up a little bit

Nice!!!!! I actually test fitted them on my car last month, but being that my car is an xi model with a higher offset...I would have to use only the front rims but all the way around. (20x9) My friend has a 750li and said that each wheel from BMW is like $1-$2k
So I decided not to go what that set up but it looked good. As I imagined it, your car came out exactly how I'd pictured it. Great job. Enjoy the ride!
