Most wheels are the "wrong" offsets for a 535xi...

...but that doesn't mean you can't make them work!

How bad do you want it?

Agreed, I consider the "right" or recommended offset/tire combo for most wheels to be wrong at this point. Nothing comes easy when you want the perfect fitment but it sure is sweet when you get it dialed in.

I found a nice set of those to pick up here in SF.
19 BMW OEM Wheels with Michelin Tires

Can you let me know what you did to fit them?
Curious if the tires that are on them should work fine or not.

Front Tires Size 245/40/19
Rear Tires Size 275/35/19
Thanks in advance.

Why? My current set up is just fine. I can't see wasting $3000 on a coil over set that still bottoms out over large bumps. As of right now, I have a stock like ride. Very comfortable....
