2002 530i wheel fittment

[gbjmang]

I have a 2002 530i and am interested in some rims I found on ebay. I would post the link but apparantly I don't have enough posts yet to do so. I was told by the seller they will fit but just wanted to check with the experts here. I thought I read something about E39's having a 74.X hub bore? Here are the specs:
Size: 18"x 8"

Bolt Pattern : 5x120
Off Set : +20mm
Finish : Hyper Silver
Hub Bore : 72.6

did they fit?

72.56mm is what most of the other BMW's use, while E39's use 74.1mm. There is an option of converting the hubs on an e39 to 72.56mm by swapping them out with e60 hubs, which are a direct fit. The offset of +20mm is correct for e39's.

You are correct. They won't fit w/o a mod of some kind, either an adapter, or boring them out. Pass on them.

Yup, I posted that information for the person who ressurected it.
