Anyone know if 540i style 7, 15" rims will fit over m5 front brakes?

Hmmm. I don't think any 15" rims fit over the US M5 brakes. Could be wrong as I've never tried to put any 15" on my car with said brakes.

Josh, Check with Bubba(996?) regarding fitment. I'm near positive the 15s won't fit, the E38s might. Like I said, you are more than welcome to try and bolt one on.

EDIT
Inside dia. of the E38 wheels is 15 1/2", 14 at the radius where the web meets the rim on the same plane as the hub face.

15" wheels won't fit. The 16" E38 version of the basketweaves would fit if you used spacers (same wheels Ross is referring to). E38 wheels that do fit without spacers are these. Style 6, 15, 18, 60 and 61 are 7,5x16 ET 20 and will work fine.
