the rear are different......... m6=et17 versus m5=et28
so the difference is 11mm? does that mean the m6 offset wheels stick out farther?

so from what i see, the front wheels have the same offset (et12)
the rear are different......... m6=et17 versus m5=et28
so the difference is 11mm? does that mean the m6 offset wheels stick out farther?

Correct, 11mm further out.
so why does bmw offer the m6 offset for the 166 m5 wheels? is it just for the guys who want to upgrade to m5 wheels?

Neither the M5 or M6 offset will rub with the correct size tires. M6 offset pushes the wheels out a bit further for a more aggressive look
