I'm interested in getting a set of 18" Wheels 189 style but I am confused on the offset, will this offset fit on my 07 E60 530xi.
- Front: 225/40/18 offset 34
- Rear: 255/40/18 offset 37
- Front: 225/40/18 offset 34
- Rear: 255/40/18 offset 37

The offsets should work OK ... as I'm sure you know the optimal offset is 43 ... that said, the front tire size is (I assume this set-up is from a 3 series) is too small for your e60. You might want to consider fitting the proper size 18's all the way around (245/40x18). Also confirm the wheel center bore is correct as well (72.56mm).

Hey Luigi, thanks for the reply, yes they are from the 3 series, I like the look of this wheels but I'm a little concern about the offset,

Offsets are good, tires are not. Do some research - the overall rolling diameters of front and rear wheels must match closely (within a few mm's). Plus, the front should be 245/40/18. That would put your rears somewhere in the 275/35/18 territory. But I'm just guessing here, search for a wheel diameter calculator to get the exact sizes.
