My Ride: 2008 535i Alpine White w/ Gray Interior; Premium, Sports, Cold Weather; Comfort Access, NAV, iPod Adapter, Sat Radio

Wish List: MTech Kit : Matte Black Kidney Grilles : R1 Concepts / Hawk Brake Kit : Blacked-out Orion Headlights
The offsets on RWD are very different from AWD. On the 535 model for example the stock 535xi wheels are 43 offset and the stock 535i wheels are 20 offset.
That means if you were to install your AWD wheels on a RWD they would stick INWARD about 20mm more than stock RWD wheels.
If you were to install RWD wheels on an AWD, the wheels would stick OUT about 20mm further than stock.

... xi/AWD model has +23mm offset handicap ... check and compare the same exact wheel (ie. model 138) on both AWD & RWD model.

Thank you, I definitely will post picks with the new shoes when get them. Also, I have to say how much I am loving the Rpi exhaust tone too. When I posted pics, everything was just completed, now that i've put some miles on the car with the new look and muffler, I must say this exhaust sounds amazing! The muffler gives the perfect amount of bite to match the new aggressive look.
