Hey all,
I've searched but haven't been able to find anything, so apologies if this has been asked.
Picked up an LCI E60 xDrive late last year. Now that summer is rolling around I'm shopping for some nicer summer wheels.
I've done some research and seems the e60 xDrive can handle upto a +30 offset.
That said, I'm looking at a square set of F30 Style 416 rims.
18x8j et 34.
Looking up the wheel specs the only thing I have a question about is that the f30 uses an M14 bolt and e60 uses an M12 bolt. I don't think it should be a problem but I've literally been unable to find any posts about f30 wheels on e60s.
Any advice would be appreciated!

You should be fine. Remember, the xDrive has a larger offset than RWD cars. I believe OEM is 42, so you will only be poked out 8 mm. The bolt difference is insignificant because you will be using the bolts that came with your car anyway.

Jay,
Thanks so much for the clarification! That's exactly the reassurance I needed
I'm trying to broaden my search parameters to what other stock OEM wheels I can appropriate... Pickings seem a little slim over here.
I don't want anything with too much in the way of race/sport pretensions, because the rest of the car is bone stock and I plan to keep it that way.
Do you have any thoughts on the Style 416 or any other rim you prefer? (I can't even find 166's OEM or Reps in the right size - they are mostly all 17's over here)

Personally, I prefer 10-spoke wheels. I have Style 166 reps because the real ones won't fit an xi car. You might look at this site for ideas: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/. Also, you might consider checking Kijiji or eBay, but shipping could be expensive. Good luck!

Yeah, i have a daily alert on kijiji hahaha. And BMW Style is my field reference guide whenever something of interest comes by. I'll keep my eyes peeled. It's not going to be a set of wheels that set the world alight, so no need to hold anyone's breath.
Thank you nonetheless for the input, thoough!

Update:
Picked up a square set of F10 Style 351s.
19x8.5 ET33 all around.
Now searching for tires. I would ideally like to keep a square set of tires too, for simplicity's sake. Been tinkering with tire calculators online, but none of them can account for real world experience under the front fenders.
A local shop suggested 255/35/19 but... 1. I'd prefer a little more sidewall and 2. Not sure if 255s will fit up front.
Anyone have advice on 245/40/19s all around. Or even if 245/45/19s would fit?
