E60 wheel fitment question

brinkmann · 05-14-2011, 10:51 AM

I'm trying to help a friend of mine find some new wheels for his 2006 525i.

We came across a nice set of factory BMW rims from an 06 650:
18x8 front wheels, 14mm offset w/ 245/45R18 tires. 18x9 rear wheels, 18mm offset w/ 275/40R18 tires. 120mm bolt pattern.

He's at stock ride height... should fitment be a problem? Do you see any potential for rubbing?

All of my research thus far leads me to believe he'll be fine but I'd appreciate second opinions.

Thanks!

definitely no problem with those offset...

didn't know the 6 series came in 18". My sister has the 645 and it came with 19".
