Hi , I just got a 530i this winter 2004. Love it by the way!

I just had a question I have two sets of style 138 BMW factory rims with tires
I am keeping the wnter rims and tires ( cause I live in Canada haha)

I am selling the summer style 138 17 by 7.5 rims with tires, so i can by a nice set of 19's!

First question, I have been asked what my offset is on my stock 138 rims nad tires, anybody know the answer to this?

Second what are my limitation in rims size height, width, offset for new rims and tires so I have no rubbing issues

Hi!

If you go w/ the cast favorites, VMR/Miro, you'll be looking at 19x8.5/9.5 et20/22. 245/35/19 & 275/30/19.

If you go the forged route, DPE, 19x8.5/10 sometimes even 19x9/10.5 without issues. Since forged wheels are custom made, offsets vary depending on how aggressive you want the wheels to fit on your car.

Hope that helps.

Michael
