question about e39 and e90

will my e90 wheels fit on and e39?

depends on if the hub bore on your wheels is larger and you are using a hubcentric ring. I'm going to assume not. E39 has a larger hub bore than e90.

They will also be sunk in the wheel well and not look good as e39 uses a lower offset than e90. You may need spacers to clear the suspension depending on the size and offset of your e90 wheels.

If they are OE wheels, forget it, they won't fit over the hub. If they are aftermarket wheels that don't use hub rings, again, won't fit over the hub. If they are aftermarket wheels that *do* use hub rings, then you have a chance that they might work. If the latter is the case, your next step is to post the widths and offsets of the wheel.

Looks like both vendors covered the center bore subject pretty well. Like Gary said, the next step in this is going to be the offset and width of the wheel. E39's do run low offset, so the E90 wheels may look a bit sunken in.
