As far as I know, the width of the rim is determined by the tire width. If the tire is wide, the rim should be wide too following Europe or Japan standard specification.

.........................
All ET/OFFSET is still dependent on tyre and wheel size so bear this in mind if you are trying to fit wheels from one model to a different model, also if the car is lowered then you may have issues with rubbing/non fitment due to fouling.

The higher the ET number the more the wheel will sit inside the wheel arch

So this explains E39 center bore is one of the aliens but E39 M5 is on the majority side.

From another source that shows E39 and E39 M5 have the same center bore, now I'm confused :4:
