E38 wheels on an E39??

They won't fit. The hub on the E39 is larger. You're stuck with E39 wheels.

Direct fit? Hub rings or any of that hoo-ha?
I'm looking to buy a set for the E39 and found some cheapies for winter from an E38.

Wait a minute E39 hub is larger than E38 7series?

Fun to drive when there's no traffic.

I recommend to anyone who’s trying to “mod” out a 5er…..just man up and by a ///M5.
