You are right, my bad! Style 166 (if M5) had 28
But now its almost necessary to use spacers

Matson - wanted to know, if I buy OEM M167s and put them on my 530d without any changes, would that be regarded as the M5 offset? To have the M6 offset, is it just the spacers which are needed? I see you went with the M6 offset and it looks great. Anything one needs to remember if going for the M6 offset or is it just a matter of adding spacers?
