E39 - E46 19" alloys available

[andy g bmth]

Hi I've been offered a set of 19" e46 m3 alloys (10*double spoke ones)

does anyone if these will fit on a e39 528 se easily or will the arches need to be rolled & stud pattern changed?

cheers andy

ps the part number is 36112229660

They won't fit.

what is the size to go for then? or is it for width that's the problem?

Off-set and bore are different.

what's the best combi of alloys for the e39. 18 or 19's and lowering springs or standard suspension re looks & handling?

Have a look at this, www.murray-systems.com/bmw_wheel_fitments.pdf and decide. Many would say that 18" (e.g. M parallels or Alpina) suit the E39 well, a long with a moderate drop (max 30 mm).
