Default E61 530d RWD 95 style wheel fitment

Hi all I’m currently running the standard m sport style 18” wheels on my e61 with 245 40 18” tyres.

im looking at the style 95 19” wheels as a summer set.
anyone know if I can run a square set on my e61 ? 9j front and rear or do people run 10j rear ?

was thinking about 245 35 19 on 9J front and rear does this work with the standard off set ? No spacers needed ?

thanks

Your touring normally takes an offset between ET35 and 45. These wheels are ET 24. Basically the lower the offset, the more the wheel sticks out. Rims with too low an offset can cause troubles with the outside edge of the tire rubbing on the fender or wheel well. Wheels with too high an offset can be fixed with spacers, but your problem is the opposite. You'd maybe have to roll the fenders to keep them from rubbing. The wheels you are looking at are not a bargain if they don't fit properly. I'd pass.

Is the RWD touring different from the RWD sedan in terms of offset requirements? From what I can see online they are the same, then ET20-ET24 should be fine.

In the U.S., all E61's are AWD. If the spec is different in the U.K., I am not aware.

Yes.....E61 was offered in RWD models outside of North America.
