Temporary Wheel - Style 66!

Evening folks,

My NS rear 19" style 326 alloy has a small crack (sounds like these wheels are prone to them) which I'm keen to rectify; instead of leaving the car in the air on a combination of scissor jack/axle stand, I was wondering if I could temporarily fit a spare 17" Style 66 alloy from my E39? https://www.carsaddiction.com/en/wheels/BMW/style-66

The PCD appears to be the same (5x 120) - I have no intention of driving with the temporary wheel fitted, it's more convenient for me to take the wheel on it's own to a repairer vs. driving the Z4 there and getting a taxi back etc.

Cheers
 
Should work…offset is wrong but for the purposes of just holding the car up it should be ok…just check that the wheel doesn’t foul the caliper as you tighten it :thumbsup:
 
In case this helps anyone... it fits! Just about clears the caliper on mine, not sure if the 35i or 35is came with a bigger rear caliper/disc setup.

Off to get the crack repaired... and yes, an opportunity to give it a proper clean before re-fitment.
