19" from E92 ->E60

Jongløren · 10-01-2008, 12:32 PM

Hi guys

Just a quick question from the cold north!

I am getting rid of my Breyton Race GT 19", and a friend of mine who drives a 5-series (E60) is considering to buy them.

The dimensions on the wheels are as follows:

8,5 x 19 (235/35/19) and 9,5 x 19 (265/30/19)

Will they fit an E60? I know he has to mount some spacers on them... but what about the diameter and the visual look...?

Anyone?

The e60 will need low offset wheels, so depending on your rear wheel offset, he may need a 10-20mm spacer in the rear, and most likely a 20mm spacer in front. Make sure the spacers are hubcentric as well, and you'll be fine.

Thanks for your answer, Ty!

I am not concerned about the fitting - with spacers they will fit without any problems.

It is actually the wheeldiameter with these tires that bothers me. Normally you would recommend 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 with 19" for the E60... but does it make that much of a difference, if it is 235/35/19 and 265/30/19?

The 235/265 combo will not look good on such a big car like the E60.
