BTW,..I contacted the seller and he said they came off his 2001 E53 .

Hope he meant they were a straight swap without the spiggots or spacers.

They'll fit no probs at all without the need for spacers or spigot rings, etc. But depending upon what your's came equipped with you may want to consider the arch extensions though as the offsets and wheel widths will bring them further out to the standard arches.

From the piccies they look like Style 168M, in which case they will fit as these were an option for the E53. Raj's reply gives a warning about arch extensions if you don't already have them.

Yeah, they will fit - same wheels on my E53 with same size tyres and same make! - In fact I better nip out and check that mine is not sitting on bricks!

Currently at a very reasonable £475 - all the best.

Well damn it !!

Somehow I just didn't press the 'confirm bid' button quick enough and missed them !!

gutted !

So if anyone comes across a nice set of 20s for my E53 then don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks for your help though,

John

Is it a spot the ball piccie, or your new masterpiece 'Reflections in a Wing'....

168s will fit without wheel arch extensions legally, as in they don't stick out further than the cars metal wheel arch, mine were fine when the car had no arch extensions on for painting

Yeah, no arch extensions required but do fill standard well - Rear bumper gets loads of dirt and tar flung at it!

Just the job them pics, if you having trouble with muck etc the arch extensions are pretty cheap, easy to fit and can be put on rear only, I had them already but a lot of people on here have fitted them afterewards

Do the arch extensions come painted black or primered? What are the cost and where is best to check for them?
