My Ride: 2008 535i Titanium Silver, Black Dakota Leather with Bamboo Wood, Sport-Premium-Cold Weather Packages, Sport Auto with Shift Paddles, Navigation, iPod & USB adapter, Satellite Radio, Heated Rear Seats
I was thinking about 166, 172 and 269(Performance Wheels) but I just decided to buy 166 wheels with M6 offsets. I know M6 offsets, the rears would have that aggressive output already but what are pros and cons? vs M5 offsets with NO spacers?
I have 08 535i with SPORTS package. 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the back are recommended by Tiago. However, patrick said 275's OCCASIONALLY still rub but no big deal, PS2's on 166's on 545iS. Other members said no rubbing problems with 275's.
I'm going to buy Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.

YOU SIR, have made a fine choice!
My Michelin's did rub in the back with 275's because they are such fat, quality tires. You might want to roll your rear fenders a bit to prevent rubbing on big dips. I have no problem after I did that.

My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
I have the M5 Offset with 12mm spacers which probably pushes the rear wheels out more than the M6 offset with no rubbing at all.

+1, I have the 275 rears (M6 166's) and my car is lowered, and even with 3 and 4 passengers I dont think I have yet to experience any rubbing.
