Are you saying 166's come in different sizes? What is an "offset"?
(Sorry if this is a stupid question... I really don't know.)

Both wheels fit either car but will be further out with the 6 series wheel.
The offset is the distance from the interior surface area of the wheel that mounts to the car and the most inner surface of the wheel. Thus a higher offset such as 28 mm will move the wheel closer in to the car where a 17mm offset will push the wheel out more to the fender.

An alignment is not required when changing wheels. It's mandatory if dropping the suspension.
