Looking for the ideal wheel and tire fitment to let you run bolt-on square wheels and tires for your 1998-2003 BMW E39 M5? Our E39 M5 fitment guide lets you run wide and rotatable tires with the correct centerbore for your M5. The unique bore of these classic BMW models means direct-fit wheels are not commonly available on the aftermarket. Our ARC-8s are made specifically for these cars in a direct-fit square wheel option perfect for anyone looking to upgrade or add a second set to keep their beast on the road. If you’re looking to see which colors are in stock, head over to our E39 M5 wheel configurator.
E39 Centerbore Notes:
All E39 5 series hubs from the factory come with a larger wheel centerbore of 74.1mm. The vast majority of 5x120 BMW wheels have a 72.56mm centerbore. The E39 5 series requires wheels with the larger diameter centerbore and our standard BMW 5x120 wheels will not bolt on to an E39 5 series with factory or OE spec hubs.
To provide a solution for the E39 community that does not involve adapters or hub conversions, APEX will offer a limited-production E39-Specific ARC-8 wheel fitment with the correct factory E39 centerbore. These wheels will bolt onto the E39 hubs and be compatible with factory wheel bolts.
APEX does not offer spacers in a compatible centerbore for E39 applications. Quality spacers in a 74.1mm bore can be purchased from ECS Tuning or Turner Motorsport. 10mm spacers are not recommended.
