My Ride: 07 Alpine White 525xi
Default

I am looking to get a set of custom wheels for my 5252xi, and the manufacturer asked me for the measurment, cuz they can't find any E60 xi-model there.....However, my car is sitting in dealership right now, and cannot get the measurment done. It would be great if any xi owner can help me out.

I need to know the "A" measurement and "C" if you can, but the "A" is the most important.

Hi,

If you are looking for wheels only, why do you need the caliper measurements? The offset for the wheels is what's important. Your xi should have an offset of ET43 front and back. VB-3 CSL M-3 replica 19" wheels from Velocity Motoring offers wheels for your car and 530xi with ET40 all around or ET40 in front and ET45 for rear staggered setup. These will fit great. Also, the BMW stock 124 model will fit your car in 18" setup...ET43 in front and rears or if you want staggered, ET43 in front and ET55 in rear. They fit! Check out cmansbimmer for his pics of his VB-3 CSL wheels on his 530xi. I just ordered the same wheels for my 530xi 2007. Search under 525xi or 530xi wheels. Hope that helps.

Thanks DrLev99. Offset is one important factor here. However, in order to maximize the size of the outer lip on the wheels, one must get the wheel spokes close to the brake caliper without hitting it.
