550's no problem , M5's not sure as the M5 has wider front fenders, but a quick search would help or someone else will shine in.

Not too sure, I imagine they would though. Umnitza has M5 wheels smaller than stock to accomodate for size. If ur not concerned about authenticity heres the link. 18 and 19 in replicas they have in stock. Youd probably be better off with 18s, still be big enough to fill ur wheel well, but do measurements first before buying anything.

You can put them on your car as long as you don't have xdrive. I have M6 rims on my car and they fit fine. Just make sure you get the correct tire size.

i'm not an expert by any means, but thought i remembered while doing research for wheels, the m5 and m6 have a larger center hub than the other e60 cars. i think the normal size center hub is 72.56 and the m5/m6 is 74. just my 2cents

Nope, I can post some pics of my M6 rims that fit perfectly fine on my 550 if needed.

Incorrect; they're all interchangable, although offsets may vary a bit. Only the e39 has 74mm hubs.

we have offsets for all variety of cars, Xi or non-Xi, and even wheels that may be for a 3 or 7 with the proper offset.

Would you guys also have wheels for an E30? I cant seem to find a good set of wheels for that car with its bolt pattern. Not even on ur site

Sorry for the irrelevant hijack BTW, i figured id ask while theyre on this thread.

E30 with 4 bolt hubs aren't something we regularly carry. If you do a 5 bolt conversion, that might be best for your wheel options.
