Wheel fitment e90 Please help

apstt · 06-28-2010, 03:01 PM

OK guys, i purchased Zone 3 wheels, that are made for the LS460, i know the bore for the LS460 is 60.1 and E90 i believe is 72.4mm, The wheels measure 20x10 in the rear +38 offset and 20x8.5 in the front +38, keep in mind that this is for a chick, would you add spacers? or leave it alone, also how will the stance look? will there be rubbing? Does anyone have similar sizing. Would the ride be comfortable keep in mind it will be a summer only set. They have Michelins on them. I called around and it's going to cost $75 a wheel to CNC to BMW bore, i also need to get the chrome off the lips because they are peeling and the wheels are curb rashed, which is going to cost me $50 a wheel to get chrome off. Roughly $500 extra to get the wheels going. I paid $300 for the set. Also she owns a 325i, does the car come with TPS sensors, the wheels have an extra hole for tps.

here is an online picture of the wheels, opinions and input would be appreciated.

That's pretty crazy that the LS460 wheels are now 5x120 and not 5x114.3 anymore!

Those offsets should work without the need for spacers. Also, BMW centerbore size is 72.56.

You shouldn't rub with that setup, but you're probably not going to use the tires that it came with because the BMW uses completely different sizes.

with the sizes i have posted what tire you recommend with rubbing issues that will have the most comfort.

Most common tiresizes are 245/30 and 285/25. You can also do 235/30 in the fropt instead.

was wondering if the ride is comfortable, the car is not lowered in any way and don't plan on lowering it. If i went with 275/35/20 in the rear and 245/40/20 in the front for a more comfortable ride. Would that do or do i risk rubbing.

Those tires are too tall, I've seen some go with 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 though.

But if you want a comfortable ride, 20" is not really the way to go.

ok so 275/30/20 it is, and 245/35/20 will do. just that the wheels are cheap so i figure i put together a set

apstt · 07-01-2010, 06:18 PM

also question 275/30/20 doesn't seem common, would you go with 265/35/20 or 265/40/20

apstt · 07-01-2010, 07:20 PM

ok 275/30/20 is cheaper on tirerack, so 275 it is. and 245/35/20
