5 series wheel question

Enemigo · 12-18-2009, 06:24 AM

I'm sure this has been discussed before, i search btw. I know the 5 series wheels are like et 20. I have an e90 328i and going to put winter wheels and tires on my car. Its from a 5 series though. How much trouble will i have, offset wise?

The wheels are 15" wheels with 195/65/15 winter tires. Wheels are 15x7.5 or so.

Won't fit cause 15" is too small.

you mean 15" is too small to put on an e90? I have a plain ole' non turbo'es 328i

which generation 5 series is this ? i dont think the e60 5 series can fit 15" wheels on them. this must be from the older 5 series i am guessing ?

I've seen a couple sets of the 17x7.5 et20 style 138's for very reasonable $$. I was thinking about using them for snows, but am not sure about the more positive offset. Looks like the fronts will be about +8mm from stock, the rears, +4mm. Anyone seen this set-up work? The styling isn't bad and is super easy to clean - a not insignificant consideration in Minnesota winters...
