Obviously, they will need to fit the rotors, wheel wells, etc. But, if I can save the $2500 that the dealer wants for RFT winter tires and wheels...
I won't work. You're doing the math backwards. You'd actually need to shave 18mm's off of those rims to make them fit right... 5 series rims will protrude out too much, and adding spacers will only worsen it.
