Same as me as i had some damage tomy front right after it was into the dealer, think it was the dealers acid wheel wash left on for too long which ate throught the rim at two points.

Yes, and that is what I have. Maybe you could buy someones damaged rim at a discount?


My E36/M3 and 540i/6 both had staggered wheel setups. Both had spare tire/wheel same size as front. Would this work for '01 M5 (i.e. would stock front M5 wheel 8"x17" with 245/40-18 tire fit on rear without a problem as a spare?

Rdgs,
Norm


Thanks for confirming. As a matter of fact, I already have one damaged (a bit of curb rash) to use as a spare. I am replacing it with a new one that the dealer gave me at their cost (nice guy).

Rgds,
Norm
