I'm interested in upgrading my 18" style 123 to 19" Miro 111 wheels in matte black.

I want to keep my tires the same size in the front and rear. Is this possible with these wheels, or do I have to get a staggered set-up?
From the miro website it seems that the 19" 111's matte black only come in 15/35 offset.

There are some threads about a special e60 offset for these wheels et20, what does this mean exactly?

I want the wheels to be flushed with no rubbing issues. Would I have to buy spacers to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

If you want it to be flush, you're going to need spacers with that wheel. I have the 18" sport wheels with 15mm spacers in the rear and wheels are flush. So if are wheels are +32 offset in the rear and I added 15mm spacers, I just brought the offset down to +17 to make it flush. Make sense? BMW does not make their wheels flush to make room for tire chains (snow). If you want them flush, you will have to make them that way with spacers or get a wheel that already has a +17 offset.

FYI, if you're going with the Miro's, it's not going to have that nice concave look if you get 4 front rims all the way around (the 19/20 X 8.5). You can get four rears and have the same set up and have poke all the way around...i've seen that before on this forum.

Interesting...never thought of getting 9.5" all around to get that sick concavity look. Wouldn't the 245 be stretching too much for 9.5"?

for your question about the 20s, the 20s come in a specified bore of 72mm so no hub rings are required. with the 20s the offsets are et18 all around. if you are interested in a set, we're direct with Miro and the new container is scheduled to come in this month on the 17th

Would you then recommend 20's over the 19's for this wheel to keep the tires same size?

sorry the 111s in 20s are not made with the proper offsets for the XI e60s. there are 19s available though. if interested or if you have any questions please feel free to PM or email me.

I bought my 19" 111's from NeRwEEzy with offsets of ET15 and ET20. Couldn't be happier but my car came with the staggered setup from the factory. Either way, they are very nice wheels and NeRwEEzy is definitely one of the good guys

I have 9.5 all round with 245x20's all round. Drives fine. I couldn't fit the standard 275 tyre as my car is low so it wedged itself against the arch. My offset is 18.


The pictures really don't do the concave justice as they are really deep in reality.
