Very good and sensible suggestion but due to back problems I can't risk it at the moment. I just wondered if someone else had tried it before.

I've got a feeling that this is not a recommended course of action as the centre bore is different. I think you can obtain adapters but some folks are dubious about their use.
I'm sure someone else...

My rattle would appear to be associated with the sun roof. Seems to be just behind the glass area above the rear seat headrests.

214's & 132's

I now have an E70 with 20 inch wheels (214's) and also a nearly new spare set of 19 inch 132's from my E53.

Thanks. So I assume that if the bore is increased to 74.1 then, if the ET is OK - which it looks as if it is - my old 132 style wheels should be fine for an E70.
