I know this may get moved to the Wheel forum, but since it is Touring related, hopefully I can get a quick answer. I've seen photos here of a red Touring with style 32 wheels from an E39, and they seemed to fit nicely and looked wicked. But I haven't found out how they fit. The offset for E39's was ET20, but if we can put them on a Touring, that opens the door for my favorite wheel, the 2-piece Style 5. So, what does one have to do for proper fitment? TIA.

What does? Skinny tires or misfitting wheels?
Not trying to be an @$$, but see, I'd debate that it fits. If it fits with excessive camber, I'd say it doesn't fit. Ditto with putting on narrower tires. That's just something I WON'T do.
I agree with you about the deeper dish. I like a deeper dish for sure. I'd love to fit a set of genuine M Par wheels (also available in 18x8 ET20), but the same issues apply.

I've often wondered if the mounting face of some of these wheels could be milled. The two main issues to consider is whether there would still be brake clearance for the spokes and whether there would still be enough meat in the mounting/thread holes to properly hold the wheel on (although this could also be resolved with welding up some aluminum in the bolt holes and remachining the seats. Basically, we're talking about changing the offset of the wheels.
That said, people DO mount these wheels. Before deciding yay or nay, I'd find out who has done it and have a discussion with them on how they solved the issues. THEN you can decide if it's worth it to you.
