Do you have a style 166 replica wheel, in 19", an offset variant which will fit the 535i Xdrive?

Do you think I could do 275/35/19 in the rear with the ET17 m6off-set in the back of my 06 530i ????
Thanks in ADVANCE

I have a 2007 E60. This summer located a set of M5 OEM Style 166 wheels. Front 12mm offset; rear 28mm. Look terrific, but rear wheels noticeably inboard. Installed 12mm spacers and am really pleased with the result. Required little balance weights. Perfectly smooth and no vibration when running as high as 200 kph.

Standard offset on the E60 rear 19" rim (172M) is 32mm.The M5 166 rear rim will be a further 4mm outwards on each side ,the M6 166 rear rim will be a further 15mm outwards on each side compared with standard.

First of all I am an E60 newb. Great forum.... I think I did my homework by reading before posting these questions.....
I've read much useful information on the topic of OEM 166 wheels, spacers, lowering etc., and have purchased my OEM 166 wheels and had them mounted last week, and I am quite happy with them. There were some answers to questions I couldn't find and have posted them below.
1) My 166 wheels I purchased are a 28 offset for the rear wheels. Dispite having read on this forum you could get the 166 (M5) rear wheel with 17 offset (referred to as the "M6 offset") the BMW dealerships here in Toronto have never heard of it. Its already a done deal in that I have my wheels, but I am still curious about this.....Please confirm someone, do these 166 rear wheels actually exist in the 17 offset? Seems so many members have 28 offsets and mount spacers.
2) Assuming the above exists, why would they make a rear wheel for the M5 in two offsets anyways? Surely the stock M5 only comes with one of them.
3) Since I have 28 offset (and am using Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 275/30/19 rear tires), I am looking to insall either H&R 10mm or 12mm spacers and can't decide which size (not exactly a one of life's critical decisions....). Have any of your guys had regrets either way (e.g. installing 12mm and wished you would have used 10mm)?
Thanks much, Wayne

Brand-new they now cost MSRP $3,000. With discount from Garry or Tischer BMW you can get them for about $2400 I think, without TPMS. They are forged wheels and made by BBS. I'm guessing that is why the price is stupid (too high imo).
