Anyone tried it, what offset and tyres do I need?

Thanks

They came with 18's from factory so no problems as long as width/offset/tyres are correct!

I don't think any E39 Touring did come with 18"s from the factory - but you shouldn't have any trouble provided the widths and offsets are the same as the 17"s (and obviously taking into account the need for lower profile tyres).

Tourings didn't get staggered wheels from the factory but the 17"s fitted fine to my old 540 - rears were 17x9 ET26 and fronts 17x8 ET20, I believe (though I sold it nearly 2 years ago so can't check).

Apologies, I always forget you don't see the Tourings with the 18" M-Para's.

I've seen them with the 19" replicas so I presume the 18's fit fine.
