M5 and M6 front ET 12

M5 rear offset ET 28
M6 rear offset ET 17 (closer/flush with the rear fender)...

I have the M166 19's and love em. Ride quality kinda goes to pooper though, but hey, LOOKS BADASS. Also, watch for potholes....automatic car washes are a no-no, and LOOK OUT FOR CURBS!!!!
Why are automatic car washes a no no????

Get the shadowline trim next. Did you lower the car. The ride height looks pretty decent on the 166's, despite no sport package.
Not lowered just standard mate
