I put 18's on my 530XI. There are a few members that have put 19's on the XI, but BMW does not recommend it for some unknown reason. I know that you need 43mm offset with the XI and although there are members running staggered sets, BMW again does not recommend it because supposedly it messes up the Xdrive system. I wanted to put the 19" 166's on my car after seeing jiio's beautiful ride, but the closest thing that I found were the 18" 135m wheels. Bought them from Gary at BMW of Newport (R.I) and got a 25% e60 member discount.
