Style 128's doing justice on my 535xi. After some help from Autocouture Motoring in NJ... miata calculator and some spacers, this car looks and rides great with these wheels. (19x8.5) 46 offset front with 10mm spacers and (19x9) 51 offset rear 15mm spacers. (Prob could go 20mm rear) No vibration, rides great. Michelin Pilots 245/35/19 front & 255/35/19 rear.

Black kidney grill and painted bottom spoiler to match. Probably could use a drop but NJ highways and NYC streets unfortunately prevent me from doing so! Great wheels for xi owners!

Stock photo with winter 528xi wheels then 128's.

Looks good! How did you come up with those tire sizes? Are the sidewalls even both front and back. I was going with the same rim sizes (as you know) and have been researching tire sizes on the net. I have read for our size we should go 245/35 and 265/35... Since you have gone 255/35, any regrets??? Do you think a 265/35 would have been better?

Looking good! I have same type with 15mm spacers in rear.

No regrets. I went on Miata Calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

It showed that versus stock 255/35 in the rear was only .1 off in diameter and only .07% to slow. Type in your stock size and then the tires your interested in putting on and it will compare stock versus aftermarket. Then you can see how off you'll be with speed etc. 245/35/19 and 255/35/19 was the closest to stock I could get. car rides AMAZING! even with the spacers which you will need with my offsets.

What were your original rim and tire sizes? Were your 17" staggered? The problem with the tire calculators is that they don't take the rim size into consideration!

225/50/17 non staggered

OK cause according to all the tire calculators we should be running a 245/35/19 up fornt and a 295/30/19 out back. That would give you the closest match to the 225/50/17. Yet the 295mm is way too wide for a 9" wheel.

we've discussed this many times... there's a wheel calc available out there online that does take into account the wheel and the offsets

OP - wheels look great. I have the same but deep dish.

Yeah and it is useless. It gives the same info that the ones without taking rim diameter into consideration do. :rolleyes:
