Will E70 alloys fit E53 hubs?

Yes, but unless I'm mistaken, the rear hubs on the E70 are larger than those on the E53 so although some have bolted straight on, it is advisable to use spigots to take out any slack.

They'll fit but you'll need spigot rings for all 4 wheels to make them fit properly.

Most important thing is the offset as I Found out a few years ago , a lot of e70 wheels will fit front wheel well but rears catch on the inner arch on certain ones ! If you go up in size again make sure that the tyres & wheels don't stick out of the arches as the Police will ask you to remove them & MOT stations will not pass your car .
List the style you are looking at & what model you have as some e53 s had the wide arch kit on ! Spigot rings are a must as well but only £10 on line for 4 these reduce the inside of the wheels from 74.1 to 72.6 which the e53 is , also help to centre the wheel on the hub again very important .
