there are many websites that sell oem replica, is that what you are looking for?

Either way. You need an ET of 35-40.

It is possible to run a staggered set up (wider in rear) but I went with square set up for my 08 535xi. You just have to make sure that your wheel/tire diameter is very very close to the same all the way around. If you run wider wheels/tires in the rear, the tires will have to be lower profile.

I am running 245/40/19 on my car.

Hope this helps.

For OEM you may also want to look into wheel choices from E9x 3-series ... just watch for tire sizes since they usually run narrower size.

If I may: 16", 17" and some 18" wheels on E60 cars use ET20 wheels. I can't speak for the post facelift (LCI) model but I can confidently say that '05/'06 E60's would use ET20 wheels unless staggered or 19" and above.

What you missed is this thread is about wheels for the xdrive/xi/awd. They have on the pre-lci an offset of 43 all around. Blastiwi has probably experimented more than anyone in this area.
