The picture you posted is of a Bmw style 122 wheel. They measure 17x8 all around. They came in 2 different offsets, et22 for the rear wheel drive e60 5-series and et43 for the all wheel drive version. Both offsets will fit, but if it’s the et22 offset, it’s gonna look a bit goofy, since they are a non-staggered setup running such a low offset. You'll find that the front wheels will actually stick out more than the rears. You could fix this by running a thinner tire upfront and a wider one out back, or you could try running a spacer on just the rear wheels, giving you a staggered wheel setup. Since it’s such a low offset, you may rub once you install spacers though.
