Hey guys,
I'm bidding on a set of wheels, and need some help just before I bid higher...
The wheels are 5x120, but are 9.5j all round, centre bore is not an issue as I cat get some spiggot rings.
I believe they were off an e60 (5series)
Guys, will these sexy wheels fit?
They are like the CSL wheel and all four concave and go in, normally it's just the rear wheels the go deeper in on the CSL wheels, this is why I really want them.
Any help peeps?

You need to check out the offsets as I would imagine E60 wheels will be way out. Can't see 9.5" fitting on your front either but others can confirm.

Sent the guy and email asking for offset, there must be away to fit these without issues? Is there......??

The offset is way different, they ain't gonna fit.

and even if you can get them on, its gonna look like a right chav wagon, and it'll handle like an arse.

Offset is et20....I'm not too bother about what people will think it'll look like.....just want to know if it'll fit.
"selsol" you response has no use to me or the topic.

SelSol's response has some use - you may not be bothered what it looks like, which is fair enough, but he is right in that it will handle like an arse.

I answered your question anyway: they won't fit.

the 5 series has a totally different offset

[xenon]

is there an echo in here?

It may be that 'won't fit' isn't explicit enough.

OK captain serious, I'll be all sensible like.

That offset is going to shove the wheels so far off the kingpin line that the results will be A) probable wheelarch fouling B) failing of your MOT* and C) completely bizarre handling because you've increased the unsprung mass. You'll also probably knacker your wheel bearings into the bargain.








*This assumes you need a new MOT, you may have parked it in a ditch in the meantime because it handles like an arse

Never mind looking like you have just crashed into Halfords and fitted the most inappropriate sized wheels possible!

9.5" wide wheels on the FRONT of a 320d ha ha
