Reply With QuoteA 20mm spacer will reduce the offset of that E36 wheel to ~20mm which is the correct offset for the 540i, so it will not cause extra strain on the wheel bearings.
Don't forget the longer 50mm wheel bolts too.

i had that setup
Worked great for me, I had 20 MM H&Rs and lugbolts to fit a set of e36 staggered M3 rims, I drove about 7K no problems. Would I do it again? If the price is right on the rims, I paid 350 for rims and tires so I couldnt pass on them, Definitely unique
