View Full Version : Can the Throwing Star from e34 M5 fit the e39? feisaldz 08-12-2005, 07:19 AM Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to fit the e34 M5 Throwing Star rims onto the e39? I do realize that the offset and the center bore is different on both cars. :help Cheers xatlas0 08-12-2005, 09:14 AM Yeah, it is possible, there was a thread about it a while ago, but I don't recall in what section. They looked kinda small for the e39, to me anyway. Brodee 08-12-2005, 10:50 AM If it is a real M5 throwing star then the center bore of the wheel will be too small. This means that the only way to fit them on an e39 is to have the center bore machined out larger. It only needs to go something like 1.5mm so it can be done, any good machine shop should be able to take care of it. liquidtiger720 08-12-2005, 01:37 PM If it is a real M5 throwing star then the center bore of the wheel will be too small.

There is a guy aroud here that I don't know who has E39 M5 wheels on his E34...to me it looks kinda silly. :thumbdown feisaldz 08-14-2005, 02:54 AM brodee here are two pics...lets see if u can create some magic :D thanks bro |
