BBS LMs

19x8.5 et 17
19x10 et 25

These were taken off of a E60 550 and I was told were correct offsets that would fit the E9x M3. Can anyone confirm this?

TIA.

Correct, these offsets will fit however, you may need 5mm spacers for the front and rear just to make them sit flush.

Someone was saying they might not have the same hub rings?? I have seen a few members here with those offsets and they fit fine. Just wanted to double check. Thanks Gary.

No problem. If you're talking about hub centric rings, I'm not too sure on the e60 size. I know that LM fits the e90 335 without a problem but either way, those rings are only $10 from your local America's Tire.

I believe BBS LM comes with the center bore at 82mm and they use the hub centric ring to scale down to the size of e90/e92 that is 72.5mm. Like I said before, I'm not sure on what size the e60 is at but if it's not 72.5mm then just get a hub centric ring that will scale from 82mm to 72.5mm

These will work great, and won't require spacers. These will be pretty flush already, and no so aggressive that you will rub. If you would like though, a 5mm spacer could be used to bring them out more, but it is not necessary.

E60 5-series cars have the same center bore measurement as the new E90-series cars. (72.56mm to be exact)

The E39 5-series cars had a hub bore measurement of 74.1, which is what freaked some people out.

All modern BMW cars now use 5x120 PCD /w/ 72.56mm hub bore specs...

If he has wheels with the 82mm hub bore, he would need 82.0 to 72.5 mm hubcentric rings. If he doesn't buy the right size rings, the car could suffer from steering wheel vibration at speed. (out of balance wheel shake) The wheel must fit tight on the hub to avoid this annoying problem.

Exactly. Thanks for clearing up the information Lemans.

Thanks everyone!

This is just the information that I was looking for. Thanks!
