Default Will 7 Series wheels fit?

I'm looking at some 7 series wheels on e-bay and wondering if they will fit my 530 and look good too! They are style 149's 20x9 (F) 20x10 (R). Offset is 24; bolt pattern is 5x120. I am looking at these 20's because they will work with my current tires... just want to make sure the rim fits the car.

Thanks!

Alpina 20" alloys,8.5" front,9.5"rear,have offsets 20mm and 24 mm respectively.Therefore the rear is o.k.Hartge 9"x20" front have an offset of 18mm therefore you need confirmation from others that the front would fit.It also depends on your tyre sizes of course.

Thanks, I suspected that the rear wheels would be fine. I guess I'll wait to see what everyone else says about the front wheels.

The front and rears have +24 offset?

If so, those wheels will fit fine. The only issue you might have (which I 99% doubt) is the front wheels hitting the inner struts. You might want to put on a 5mm spacer in the front to make it more flush though. And I would recommend running the following size tires: 245/35/20 F and 275/30/20 R if you have crappy roads or 245/30/20 F 285/25/20 R if you have awesomely awesome roads.

My E60 runs on style 95 (7 series alloys) 9jx19 Front and 10jx19 Rear, with +24mm offset and 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 respectively with no scrubbing or any other issues, also lowered on Eibachs. I cant see any problems with the wheels you are showing.

As the others confirmed, the wheels will fit, its the tyre size that is key in all of this -- see above.

Here is a pic of an E60 with the standard 7er tyres, so as you can see, the wheels look great but the tyres need to have slightly smaller walls (- I believe these 7er tyres are 245/40/20 and 285/35/20). The sizes TakmaN listed above look right to me. More details on that car here. Good luck with the purchase
