Will E90 wheels fit my F10?

Z4C_luvver · 12-07-2011, 04:59 AM

Sorry to ask what may be an old question, but as asked above, will the E90 wheels fit, and will I need to bore out or put spacers on?

What kind of e90 wheels?
But it should be possible since the offsets are not that far off.

just wondering but why would you want to do it? Winter tires? spare?

I am interested in this as well for winters. I'd be looking at an 18" x 8" wheel (on all 4 corners) likely. Tricky to find this as many e9X wheels for sale used around here are staggered.

Staggered won't be a problem with F10 size 245/45/18 tires all around.

Its going to depend on the specific wheel design. I added some 19" aftermarket wheels designed the E90 and they hit the large F10 front brake calipers. Needed a 10mm spacer for clearance.

Yes, thoughts of winter tyre rims.

Thanks to all for answers.

Also, so the centre bore is similar?

Yes, same centre bore.

One difference is the lug bolts that's 14x1.25 for the F10 vs. 12x1.50 for the e9x.

So do you need to bore out the bolt holes?

You should not need to enlarge the bolt holes, its only a 2mm difference in bolt diameter. Also the seat taper on both sets of lugs bolts is the same.
