I had to go the other way to use my e 53 wheels on my e 70. That requires spacer with big inner hole small outer hub and 20 longer lug bolts.

Thanks for the quick reply! I imagine the 79mm bore they mention in the eBay listing is incorrect, as my limited research has shown that the center bore doesn't typically go that high for BMW rims. I suppose i could go out and measure just to make sure it isn't actually that size. Wondering why there isn't more information on these rims, as they have a BMW part number on them, but it doesn't even pull up on RealOEM's site for any model.


So the difference between the 8J and 8 1/2J is not important then? I know my offset is in range, and shouldn't have to be considered.
