Default Fitting X3 18" rims on E60

Help!!!! I I have a E60 525i 2004. Can I fit some 8Jx18 Et 43 rims?? What size spacers do I need? Can it be done?

I tried a 245/40 18 wheels but it straches my shock, can anyone help?? Will it fit with spacers???

Thank you so much!

I wouldn't do it. The normal offset for your car is in the 18 - 32 range. Your spacers would have to be at least 15 mm. You'd also have to watch the width of your tires.

Thanks for the help! I thought I would be complicated as well.

Thank you!

That's the X-drive offset. The OP has a RWD car.
