Quick wheel question

Post by UrbanFlow » Sat Feb 22, 2014 9:51 am

Does anyone know if wheels like this from the E70 will fit my 2003 E53?
Do I need spigot rings or whatever they are called?

Many thanks,

I believe the E53 as with the E71, the rear centers are ever so slightly smaller than the E70, so yes you can use these wheels on your car but will need spigots, a thin piece of metal or plastic to take out the gap between the wheel center and the hub.

These are easily available free ebay.
