My Ride: 06 530i Premium and Cold Weather Package
Orient Blue, Tan Interior
HEY everyone!
Hope all is well around here. I sold my e60 to a good friend of mine and now am pushing an 07' e70. I miss this forum though.....quite a bit. The XOutpost forum is cool but this was by far the best group of people.
I have a question I believe many here will be able to answer.
My wife is driving an 08' e93 and running standard wheels. I would like to place spacers in the rear to fill out the wheel wells as the staggerd sport wheels would and can not seem to find what spacer size would simulate this to stock spec. I have seen quite a few go with 15mm spacers but no reference as to weather the offset matches the sport width. Does anyone here know the correct/exact offset? I started to look at the OEM tire sizes to attempt to learn the dimesions and use that data to ID the offset but wanted to try here prior.
We are also looking to do the same thing on the abovementioned 06' e60 (vehicle in my avatar).
Anyone who is in the know and can help I would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance!

your best and most precise bet would be to measure for yourself

the lack of responses is most likely because you are asking about an e9x rather than an e60, offsets are different between the models (e9x offsets are higher). And for your e60, we'd at least need to know which wheel you have and if you have the oem tire size on them....again, measuring the gap on your own would be your best for your e60 as well..
