    Wheel fitment question 05' 325i

    Picked up some 540 wheels today and the front rims have the number 6760678-13 (8Jx18eh2) and the rear rims have number 6760681-13 (8 1/2Jx18eh2). There also stamped IS 47 on front wheels and IS 50 on rears....I'm thinking these are the offset? Wanted to know exactly what I'll need for these to sit flush on an 05' 325i.What size spacers? Which hub ring? I have stock suspension as well. Thanks so much.

    I don't know what 5-Series they told you as I have never seen an offset that high. Typically I will see them around 15-25 depending on the width. Also if it is off a E-39, you will need hub centric rings.

    So do you know what style of wheel they are? Have a look here to help: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/

    That offset you notes is mostly for 3-series so I would question that person's knowledge on rims.

    PS: I think these are the rims, and yes they will fit: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...32#36116760681

    Sounds like you have BMW Style 125s 18x8 ET47 18x8.5 ET50, this is a factory wheel option for the E46.

    Thanks! Should these fit flush on my '05 325i or will I need spacers? I've seen varying offset numbers for my stock setup and haven't had a chance to test fit the wheels yet. Thanks again
