Will 5 series wheels fit an E91 tourer?

[gingerrusta]

Hi

I am looking at getting some bmw 5 series alloys and was wondering if they are a straight fit onto an e91 touring 3 series bmw ?

What 5 series alloys? iirc centre bore is different on E39's

[gingerrusta]

they are from an 06 plate 530d

Im sure they will be a 5x100 bolt pattern but you need to find out what offset they are, same width?

Bolt pattern is the same 5x120 and centre bore is the same but E60 wheels are a low offset vs high offset E90's wheels which will cause a problem.

as said, the 'big' bmws, 5 series, 6, 7, 8 etc are always low offset (usually around et20) small ones from e36 onwards are high offset around et40.

depending on tyres, wheel widths and ride height you can sometimes get away with it, but in general theyll stick out around 20mm further and the tyres will be too much of a balloon profile.
