The Miro 111 in 8.5" with mid-30's offset is not very concave. The 9.5" with mid-30's offset looks pretty good. There are lots of pictures on the E90 boards of the Miro 111's with these offsets. If you want truly deep concave or big lip, there really is no option besides going wide with a low offset. If you were to switch over to the standard 535i RWD brakes or M5 brakes and the required parts in the rear (fronts are a direct bolt-on) you can easily run a 9.5" wide wheel with an ET20, but rolling your fenders would be less expensive and easier.

Ah ok, I mean the other post that i posted in the other thread, the rear wheels are ET 22. It was hidden haha, but anyway, Those wheels are 18x9.5 and are fine with the tires I got everything sits nicely and evenly. Ill post more pictures later.

Looks like my only other option is a wheel design with a lip then or maybe i can accept rolling the fenders after i think about it more. I plan to drop the car too. If not Ill stick with a similar set up i got now, just different wheels.

Does any one have a list of what stock Bmw wheels with model numbers work without an issue on 2008 535xi wagon .. Preferably 19's. Thinking of upgrading my stock wheels .. Don't minding runny spacers or even getting my fended rolled .. Thanks

These are all the stock wheels for the E60 (not specifically the E61):

It will at least give you an idea of what's out there.

So I'm getting rims

19x8.5 ET32 FRONT
19x10 ET38 REAR
TIRES
245/45/19 Front
275/35/19 REAR

My question is will this tire set up work fine as far as being close in rolling diameter not to throw the spedo off I've tried the tire calculator guide and can't get it to work! Need some input or suggestions?

Those sizes will NOT work on an Xi/XDrive car. The difference needs to be 1% or less.


There is a calculator right at the top of the forum: https://5series.net/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php


Put in your two tire sizes and it will spit out the percentage difference between them. If it comes up more than + or - 1%, then that combination of tires will not work.


The most common staggered sizing for an AWD E60 is:
275/30/19 with a 245/35/19
An even closer match is
285/30/19 with a 245/35/19

Thanks so much for your help

I went outside the box a bit. I bought a set of wheels 2 days ago, next morning the store called me telling me i will need spacers, So i got those spacers that they said I would need. Regardless, My car is going to be a test subject I feel like.

Wheel specs are:

19x8.5 front 35 offset
19x9.5 rear 30 offset (super close)

I dont know much about wheels and i read up a lot about the Xi and wheels. Decided to go for it anyways. My dad said he would buy the wheels off me if i dont like how they would sit etc. If i end up rolling or pulling my fenders then might as well. The person from the shop told me that the wheels are going to sit flush with the car.

My current set up is

18x9 front 33 offset
18x9.5 rear 22 offset

No problems at all. Car looks good.

Spacers may push the wheels out too far. They don't know what they're talking about. The inner clearance is fine. They probably think xi is no different from rwd offset. At most I could see a 5mm spacer on that wheel but it also depends on your suspension height and tire shape. You should try just the wheels first, measure, flex it a bit, then choose spacer thickness.

I already ordered the spacers, and I thought about that about 1 hour after I already put in the order. They said the wheels would hit the strut. We will see. If anything Ill keep or sell the spacers or if possible return them.

I figured Id listen to he guy lol. He is a wheel expert. But then again, I could be one too. lol

Once he said ill need 20mm in the front and 10mm in the rear I was puzzled. My dad said to order the spacers anyway. So listening to my dad and the "wheel expert" i bought em. They had my car model and make and everything. It even said AWD E60 in the list specifically. We will see, ill let you guys know, at least if anything someone will learn from my mistake (if i made one).

Im on stock ride height, still trying to decide if i should lower my car. I want to but i cant afford KW coilovers. And I got 1 more semester left of college before i graduate and well... i need to start saving for some other things. But still want to lower my car...lol...still thinking if i should get those H&R springs (iv read upon hours about them on the Xi models).
