        Anyone verify that Beyern Mesh Wheels Size 17*8 will fit a 2001 M5?
        Anyone know for sure if Beyern Mesh wheels in a 17*8 size will clear the break calipers for sure in a 2001 M5? Thx

        Check with the folks at Bavauto.com. They sell Beyerns with Nokians as a snow tire/wheel package. They list the 17"s, but I ended up going with 18's to get the particular tire that I wanted (Goodyear GW3's).

        No it will not fit because the center hub is too small. If you really want the wheels you will have to have it machined to bigger fitment.

        There are very few 17 inch wheels that will clears the rotors. IMO to much of a hassel just go for the 18's.
