Mille Miglia 1000 Wheels?...

Anybody know if the Miglia 1000 wheels fit on a 03 Evo?

Found these local on craigslist:
http://lincoln.craigslist.org/pts/1538244492.html

4 Mille Miglia 1000 wheels 17x8 with Pirelli 210 SnowSport tires (235/45 R17 94H)

These came off my 2001 BMW M5 but they'll fit any E39 BMW 5 series (1997-2005). The wheels do have some curb rash (see photos) but they should be straight as I had no problems with them when they were mounted, including a 1200+ miles trip when I bought the car.

Did a search and didn't see anything come up. Any help is appreciated!

What is the offset?

You could probably do it with spacers even if they hit at first. 16" RX7 wheels will fit over evo 9 brembos if you use a 20mm spacer.

Looks like front offset is 20 and rear offset is 22....

but there seems to be some argument that the rear may actually be 24.

At that offset you won't be able to run much of a spacer before you start to rub.

Just looking at the shape of the wheel they look like they would probably hit the brakes. They don't extend away from the hub at all in the center. It would be best if you could drive over and try one on.

Maybe you'll luck out and someone has tried those wheels here before?

BMW's have a bolt pattern of 5x120 instead of our 5x114 so even if they would clear the brakes you'll never be able to bolt them on.

When I looked at the pictures I thought to myself that they hardly had any tread left on them. It looks real shallow. It probably beats the crap out of summer tires in the winter though.

MM was a house brand for us that unfortunately has gone out of business. All of our fitments and left over stock is gone.

+1 on not working.

Yeah, i asked the guy to measure the remaining tread. It's probably not worth messing with though.
