I like the look of the factory E 55 wheel better than that. If it didn't come on a Lambo, I doubt many people would even think twice about them.

Offsets are completely off. The front would rub on inside and would potentially not clear the brakes and in order to get away with an 11" rear wheel you would need to run a 33-38 offset.

x2 on RL's post. I'd do a 12mm spacer all around, that way they'd fit w/ a slight stretched tire on the rear

Actually you wouldn't even have to run a stretch tire on the stock rims+ spacers. I ran 13mm spacers in the rear with 265's, no rubbing issues and they looked great

nono, I meant a 12mm spacer all around on the Gallardo wheels.

I was actually able to do a 20X10.5 et 36 with a 305 on my rear with no rub!!

Pics of that please! sounds freakin badass man. I rub with my 10.5 et35 and 285's, but then again I I'm ridiculously low Haha.

Good point about the spacers but with 11" in rear wheels it would require a 20mm spacer, could you imagine how long the hubs would last after that much added unsprung weight and extended track lol. He could run them with the 8.5"s all round with spacers but that just wouldn't look right.

In the end, for the price of the lambo wheels and amount of hassle to make them fit, just use that towards a decent set of aftermarket wheels.

I'm not sure about the look on a E, but I was a big fan of it on on the S4.
