These are the specs I got:
Hub: 72.6
Offset: 38 mm front 38 mm rear
Hub: 72.6
Offset: 38 mm front 38 mm rear
38? Don't they need to be 42 or above or something??

Here's a great tool to use for you future reference:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
And here are the specs on a 535xi:
17" Wheels: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=36&fg=15
18" Wheels: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=36&fg=15
Note the offsets as you scroll down in the specs (i.e., ET43, ET55, etc.).
You might want to have the wheels remounted and balanced. If they were shipped to you mounted, the initial job may have been poor.

The offsets are perfect ... Check and make sure your tire sizes again ... the shop didn't mount the 275 up front & the 245 on the rear by mistake didn't they
? Something strange ...

Just went and took a look...everything seems cool...the pressures were quite low I think (34 front/36 rear) I bumped the pressures up to 40 frt/42 rear. (thought back to how the M6 pressures were with the 19's) I'll see how it feels when I leave...
