    Sorry to hear that you picked up some wheels that wouldn't fit on your E38! The stock E38 sport package fitment is as follows:

    18" Staggered:
    Front: 18x9 ET20
    Rear: 18x9.5 ET17

    If you are looking for a setup that fits, we would recommend staying close to these widths and offsets! An 18x9.5 ET22 could work as a square fitment but you would need a 3mm or 5mm spacer up front to help clear the suspension side of the wheels.

    I hope this helps!

    Below is a link to the wheels we carry that will fit. Factory wheels are tricky. A 5 series or 3 series wheel does not have enough load capacity for your car. The offset on a 3 series is also off. If I can help let me know.
