BMW M5 E60 and E61: 5x120, a 72.6 mm hub, M12 x 1.5 bolts

The BMW M5 with the 373 kW V10 engine, as a saloon (E60) and as a Touring (E61), is 5x120 on a 72.6 mm hub, with M12 x 1.5 wheel bolts: koleso.ee and SCC give these measurements, each cited in the table. None of the sources read gives the tightening torque: we do not publish it. The M5 F10 that succeeds it has its own page.

A 19-inch staggered fitment, different at the rear of the Touring

The vehicle type record of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA), the document that sets the tyre and wheel combinations a car may carry, permits a 19-inch staggered fitment for the M5: at the front, 8.5J x 19 at an offset of 12, with 255/40 R19 tyres, on the saloon as on the Touring. At the rear, the saloon has 9.5J x 19 at an offset of 28, with 285/35 R19 tyres, and the Touring 9J x 19 at an offset of 17, with 275/35 R19 tyres: a saloon rear wheel therefore does not carry over to a Touring. The front offset, of only 12, is low: the front wheel sits further out towards the wing.

The load the wheel must carry

The records give a permissible load of 1,090 kg on the front axle, i.e. 545 kg per wheel, and 1,270 kg on the rear axle of the saloon, 1,360 kg on that of the Touring, i.e. 635 and 680 kg per wheel. They do not give the load index of the 19-inch tyres: the tyre keeps at least that of the fitment on the car (reading a tyre). The guide wheels for a heavy car: the load per wheel explains how to read it.

What these measurements say about a forged wheel

The offset positions the wheel in the wheel arch: a wider wheel, or a lower offset, brings it closer to the wing. The Onyx Forged design office starts from the measurements on this page, your brakes and your tyres to calculate the width and offset of your wheels, then submits them to you. The offset calculator compares two fitments: it compares, it does not choose the measurement for you.

Roadworthiness test: what is examined

The French roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) examines the wheel without removing it (cracks, deformation, a wheel that protrudes beyond the bodywork) and verifies that the tyre size is one provided for by the manufacturer or accepted as equivalent. Keeping a tyre size from the original fitment, and at least its load index, avoids having to justify it; the details are on the roadworthiness test and registration page.

What we record before machining

• The exact version, stated on the registration document, and the current diameter of your wheels.
• The braking system, on which the smallest possible diameter depends (wheels and brakes).
• The current fitment, axle by axle, and the hub's 72.6 mm centre bore according to the databases.

Configure your forged wheels for the BMW M5 (E60, E61)

The Onyx Forged design office works out the measurements of your car from its exact version, stated on the registration document, and shows them to you before machining. Each set is cut from forged 6061-T6 aluminium, machined on a 5-axis CNC centre, as monoblock, two-piece or three-piece wheels; our wheels are designed to JWL/VIA standards. Prices by diameter and the lead time are given on this page, under “What Onyx can make”. Start your configuration or write to contact@onyxforgedwheels.com.
