I have a newbie question for everyone. Currently, I am running stock 245/40R18 all around my 07 530i sport.

Is it possible for me to swap them out for the M sport rims that are 235/35/ZR 19 FRONT and 265/30/19BACK?

If so, do i need to do anything special or do i just take off the old ones and put these on?

Those should fit fine, assuming the rims are BMW fitment.

Thanks for the response. I can just throw them on then without spacers? I jsut want to make sure because im buying them today.

You haven't told us the style # or offsets of the rims, so that question can't be answered without more information.

Those are style 166 rims, same as I have (only reps)

I'm guessing that the offset for your current setup is about ET 20, so they will probably be tucked in a little.

Here's an explanation of offset: Wheel offset explained in plain English (yup pictures too) - Deutsche Auto Parts

Hope you got a good deal on them. They're very desirable wheels.

Thanks! I got them for $700 with 90% new tires. The person was desperate for cash and wanted to sell them fast... Only the front right has some curb rash....

Good deal if they're OEM wheels. Congrats!

I just took in trade a 2004 545i an the wheels on the car are also 19" staggered setup. Would these wheels cause codes to show up ?the rear tires are 285 / 35 / zr19 they rub and bind up especially when I have people in the back seat .sorry for posting on your thread as I'm new .

Your post location is fine. To answer your question, having the wrong tires is not likely to throw a code. What codes are you getting?
