Hi all, i am about to order a set of 19" Miro, M6 replica rims, 8.5 all the way arround, from ModBargains.com. tire size will be 245/35 ZR19. The sales person had never sold this size wheels to an E60 owner before and he did not guaranty that they will fit without wheel spacers or they're going to be rubbing against something. He thinks i shouldn't have a problem but if i do, they don't have any return policy and will not return the rims. could anyone tell me if i should buy those rims or not????????? THANKS......

If you have a RWD e60, it won't work without spacers. The offsets are ET:38. It's too high. You need a smaller offset number like ET:20.

I see what you're saying, i have an 04 525i RWD. looking at the chart that they have on their website, the 19" 9.5 are ET20. i can put 9.5 on rear but do you think 8.5 will fit in front without spacers???? THANKS......

9.5x19 ET:20 is fine for the rear. 8.5x19 ET:38 is not for the front. You still need an offset closer to ET:20. To give you an example take a look at my gallery. My wheel dimensions are the same as what you are going to get: 9.5x19 and 8.5x19. My rear offset is ET:16 and front offset is ET:12.
