Will This Setup Fit MY Car?

Hey guys, I honestly have no idea when it comes to tire and rim sizes. Anyway would a set of 16" Borbet Type H from an e39 540i with Bridgestone Blizzack WS-15's (225/50/16's) fit my sport package e90 328i? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

NO, The 16's I believe will not clear your brake rotors.

Then why are 16" rims standard on E90 328s?

To the OP, if the offsets are +30 to +40, you should be OK. You will also have to verify the hub bore diameters.

it's not because of the 16's.

The E39 has a crazy hubcentric size on it, different from all 3 series cars.

If you try to run these rims, you will need to install a hubcentric ring, which I don't think is safe. Find more suitable rims!
