The off-set is 35mm front and rear(that's what I found after surfing the net).
Is that going to be a problem????

But the posted pic shows that they should fit the 6er!?
like i said earlier, this offset would cause to rub on the inside. For the front, you should technically be having 22mm on each side, for the rear, you need atleast 18mm on each side...

So, correct me if I am wrong, 22 mm spacers in the front and 18 for the rear is not that big of a deal opr is it??

Why...????

The wheels come from the factory with the apropriate spacers for the 6er.

??? factory rims do not have spacers, they are offset to the car body, if they were actually built for the 6er, they wouldnt need spacers...

I guess they are not specifically designed for the 6er, but to suit more BMW models. But the dealer told me the wheels come off factory with the appropriate spacers to fit the 6er.

Is there a problem in that???

there could be potential rubbing depending on the tire size and the way you drive, im not a fan of spacers, and if they are large then they could throw off the driving characteristics, especially during spirited cornering.....
