You can get the centres bored out or use wheel spigot rings to make fit eat her way I have heard.

i only ask as my e70 has 20s and rft, no spare, i have a style 168 20" wheel and tyre off an e53, im planning some excursions way up scotland, next year and im going to newquay in sept (1000mile round trip for me) and was thinking of using it as a spare when on long trips?  is it a stupid idea i dont know, can you buy a space saver?  not too long ago the tyre blew on the e91, this has no spare but also no rfts, luckily it was 2 miles from home so i went and took the wheel for her to get a tyre, but imagine all the family is 500 miles from home and get a puncture? does the bmw assist cover punctures i just dont know

Hi they will fit with a rebore to 74.1 as they will be 72.6 unless it is a none genuine wheel , the other thing to look out for is the offset depending if it is a front or rear that goes I don't think the rear will be safe on the front as it is much wider and lower profile . You need to find an et48 wheel to fit both front and rear axle either 18 or 19" I think I have one in the garage I will have a look !
  Other thing to consider is the run flat and none run flat on same axle again not recommended .

I have some odd wheels hanging around E70s, E53's from when I used to trade a bit with wheels.  Let me know if you are interested.  I keep meaning to post them all up on here but have lost the file with the photos of them all.

I have a few 18's with runflats that can go on the front or rear of an E70, they'll be a lot cheaper than that space saver 8)

Space saver will limit you to 50 mph , just look on the net you are looking for offset et48 as this will fit front or back ideally tyre size 255/50/19 .
  Good luck !

Sustanon250 on here is selling a brand new space saver on here along with winter wheels this would be the cheapest option !
