Hello Can anyone tell me if

BMW 16'' off 7 series E32, 5 stud 120mm pcd, 205/60/16 will fit on E34 530i with no problems?

yes e34 and e32 the same size wheels etc.

should be et of about ET20-23 depending how wide they are

7" or 8" wide

tyres wrong size though profile to high and tread to narrow .

should be 225/55-16"

205/60/16's and 225/55/16s are the SAME size. IE the overall diameter is the the same.

Ok so I could run alloys with 205/60/16 for now and replace with 225/55/16s later on?. Im not sure if they are 7" or 8" does it make a big difference?.

If they are on 205's now my guess is they will be on a 7" wide rim. It is all stamped on the wheel anyway so will be easy to figure out. The 225's will go on the 7" rim but are more ideally suited to the 8" rims.

Ok cheers will have a look at the rim to see. So its not ideal but I could run 225 on them and not have have any trouble. And I take it theres loads of room for them on e34 with no rubbing?. Sorry Im new to bmws so could be stupid question

Are they the only 2 sizes of tyre i could go for with them?

Cheers for you advice
