    Default Will These Fit??? (Wheels/Tires)

    Hi everybody,

    I'm new here. About to get a 1995 540i/6. I saw these wheels and wondered if they will fit. They seem like a good deal. Would I need spacers?

    Thanks!

    The wheels come in two offsets. The e60 could be ordered with them at a 20mm offset or a 43mm offset for the 530xi models. If you get the 43mm offset it WILL NOT fit. However I am not sure whether the 20mm offset will work. My guess is yes.

    id vote yes on the 20mm offset too.

    Ha! I saw those today too, but its 5 hours away for me to get those, and I wasn't sure what our offset limits are. I have the same year but in a 525 XD Anyway, welcome!

    17x8 20mm offset is perfect,the only other question is the hub diameter which afaik is the same on the E60 as our cars,ie 72mm,the e39 for some reason was different at 74mm

    I remember test fitting (read: photochop) and they looked really out of place, being so 'fat'. Though they look at home on the bloated Bangle e60, our more svelt e34 deserve more refined rims... my opinion.

    I'm thinking the same thing. The more I look at them the less excited I am. I'll keep browsing for something better.

    Thanks for all the responses.

    I'm selling my Breyton's if you're interested and I'm in Houston so I could meet up with you.
