Will an E46 M3 wheels and tires fit on an E60

[clarkkent]

I have a set of 18" stock M3 wheels and tires that came out of my 2002 M3. I recently bought a 2005 530i and would like to know if my M3 wheels will fit on my E60 before I even try...

Thanks

There's not many people with an E60 in this board but I'm pretty sure the offset of the E60 wheels is completely different.

I do not doubt that they are different. As a matter of facts, I am sure they are. The thing is the M3 wheels are also wider which would compensate for the difference... I think!

Well E60s supposedly went back to the same size centerbores used on all other BMWs. However they still require lower offsets similar to the 7-series. You might be able to get the rear E46 M3 wheels to fit, but not the fronts... at least without spacers.

As carcrazed4life said, only the rear wheels of the E46 M3 are 'different' (I mean, from the other 3 series).

I bought 17 inch style 68 wheels for my 2006 525xi and they fit right in. Car rides beautifully and I didn't have to do any other thing but put them on.

Yup... Front will need adapter and rear will fit just fine.
BTW congratulations on your purchase.
