18s will fit over the brake.. i'm not sure about the lug pattern for those wheels though. 18 is the smallest you can go

I am not sure. 255/55/R18 is the smallest I have seen. Do a test fit and find out.

A cursory glance at a couple of the wheel offset guides found on the web suggests that 20 offset is pretty severe, esp. in comparo to what you are running. That wheel should also "jut out" considerably from the hub; not sure that is what you are looking for in a winter tire situ. With so many oe and rep E70 wheels to be had, I am surprised you are so enthralled with those that fit an M5...just my 50Cts.

Thanks for the info... I just don't know any better, that is why i'm asking the stupid questions lol
Yeah any OEM type wheel will work, again wanted 18" for winter. I'm checking ebay, but do you know where to find some oem or whatever rims so I can put snow tires on? What offset am I looking for, for a 05 4.8is? 48? Thanks

 OEM will be ET48 for the most part, aftermarket about ET42 or ET45.I was going to go with aftermarket rims from TR because I couldn't find any OEM locally. I like OEM for strength and not having to use centering rings, basically I know it fits. Then 2 weeks ago, I saw a set of OEM style 58 on ebay and no bids, I made a lowball offer and the guy accepted. This really sucks though cuz someone local just put up a set of OEM style 69 for sale (which I like better). Murphy's law I guess.  Keep checking ebay and Craigslist, or go with a TR package.
