So im fixing to buy some Vossen CV2 wheels for my 05 545. I plan on running 20X9 up front and 20X10.5 on the rear. For the tires 245/30 front, 285/25 rear. I know the bolt pattern is 5X120, however the 2 different sites ive been looking at to order the wheels give me different offsets from each site. One of the sites says to run 35mm offset on the front and 27mm on the back. And on the other site it says to run 20mm. So i thought id get on here and see what everyone else is running on there car if they have the same wheel/tire setup. Just wanna make sure im gettin the right offset for my car.

my offset is 20 f and r ---they rub in the back with 285/30 application so stay with 275 or a higher offset. In the front 20 offset is a mess for me - they rub when people are in the car and I make turns, rub to the point where it has bent the wheel arch fender a bit.
..make sure you have a higher offset or stick with 19". Or retro fit M5 fenders.

The higher offsets like ET35 in front is definitely for a 3series or 5series xdrive.
