Hey guys, first post so hopefully you can help me out. I have scrolled for this specific question to no avail, so sorry if Germans:

I am considering a set of ADR Designs M Classic BBS wheels for an E34. The specs are as follows:

Bolt Pattern: 5X120 - I know this is correct
Size: 17X8.5
Hub Bore: 74.06
Offset: 15mm

I know the factory specs call for a 20mm offset and am not certain regarding the hub bore or whether the 5mm offset differential will cause significant problems.

Can anyone enlighten me as to whether this particular set of wheels will actually fit my 95 525i?

Many thanks in advance.

I'm running BBS RCs with the exact same dimensions and 245/45/17 tires all around. They fill out the wheels wells very nicely.

You will need hubcentric rings (parts# A670 from tirerack @$4.00 ea).

I run bbs rx's and they all have a 10mm offset and they work fine on my ride. just make sure that you get an allignment after you install them.
