21' rims e70 into e53 2006

so im planning putting style 215 21' e70 rims into my e53 2006 3.0i, i know i it fit with a hubcentric ring, but im wondering is the rear rims gonna stick out of the fender/flares or it gonna be flush ?

Do you have this wheel's specs so that we don't have to go look it up to attempt to give you a response?

Since this is an e53 forum...very few of us know what the specs are for the Style 215 wheel (width and offset) without having to google search, or go find the info in one of the BMW part databases or wheel websites.

You can see in the BMW wheel size chart below...that the e53 & e70 offset "range" (based on the original offered wheels) has a difference of only 5mm at the most extreme example. When comparing the actual specs of the 215 wheel vs the widest e53 wheel (like style 87 or style 168)...consider that the "lower" the offset number...the closer the wheel sits to the fender (which can be confusing because most would think that the higher the offset...the closer it will be to the fender)

So take into consideration the "width" of the e53 wheel vs the e70 wheel...and the offset of the Style 215 wheel vs the offset of the widest e53 wheels (the Stye 87 & 168)...and do the comparison. Without actually looking it up and making an assumption based from the chart below...the possible increase in "width" vs the possible difference in wheel offset...will probably be small enough to be negligible. But do the math...don't just go on my assumption because I don't have the Style 215 wheel info in my head.
