e39 M5 wheels on e46?

[Jlastor]

I am being offered a set of e39 M5 original wheels for $200 including tires (1/2 life left). I am probably going to buy them since I know I can sell them for more. But I did a quick search and could not find many pictures of e46's with them; most of the pics were of M3's. Has anyone seen a good picture of a e46 sedan? Could they look good?

My style 135 are one of my favorite OEM looking wheels on our cars, but I have one cracked and another bent. I am going to fix them but at $600 for fixing all four is a little too much for me at this time (I could do it but I would rather spend that money on other things).

Thanks guys!

Ive just been told that all wheels are 18x8.5". Would i have any issue in the front? The guy just told me he has five wheels, same price.

I think the offset is different enough that you would have difficulty, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah, i just searched and offset is way off. But i think the guy is selling them as originals and they are replicas.

Found this thread on google. I think they look amazing on that touring and OB sedan

E39 has a different center bore than the other BMWs of that era. Only way they would work was with a hubcentric adapter.

Offset is ET20 on an 8" rim. It would be as tight as a..................

They cost like 20 bucks on E-Bay. I ran E39 wheels on the E32 for a few years.

Makes sense on a 7er...running et20 on an e46 with adapters is going to be ridiculous. Would make sense on an M3, but the non m would be hard pressed to fit comfortably.

Agreed.

OP. I think the offset is too aggressive. I think you should buy them, and flip them.

Good luck.
