    Default 5 series offsets

    Thinking of buying a set of 16" wheels from a 2004 525 to use for snow tires on my 2002 530. I believe both have 5x120 bolt pattern and offset +20, so they should work - right?
    I looked at my spare wheel and it had on the inside rim IT 20, not ET 20. I assume this still refers to the positive offset??

    Is their any site that gives offset for all late model BMWs so I can see what will fit my '02 530?

    Default They'll fit fine

    Offset is referred to as either "ET" or "IS" when stamped on the wheel. The '04 wheels will be a perfect fit on your '02.

    The store that is selling them (oemrims) just told me they will only fit if the center bore is modified.
