I have a 2004 530i and looking to buy some rims. The specs are as follows

Maya DLS

Front: 20x9 +23
Rear: 20x10 +23

Does anyone know if this offset will be a problem, or too aggressive, meaning will they stick out past the fenders

Any help appreciated

They won't stick out, those offsets are fine. One thing though, make sure there's enough clearance in front between the strut and the wheel.

Yeah

I wouldn't be able to test fit as I would be buying them from this forum, and they are brand new with no pics mounted

That would suck too buy some rims and find out there's a problem

Thanks for your help

Well, I can help you out with it if you can tell me the specs of your current wheels .

Style 123 wheels:
- 8x18
- ET20

When comparing the OEM wheels and Maya wheels with an offset calculator, it will tell the following:
Front: The outer edge of the Maya wheel will extend 10mm compared to a style 123 wheel and the inner edge will be sitting 16mm more inside.
Rear: The outer edge of the Maya wheel will extend 22mm compared to a style 123 wheel and the inner edge will be sitting 28mm more inside.


So, you can check if there will be enough clearance or not in front, by measuring the space between the wheel/tyre and the strut with your current wheels. If there's more than 16mm space between the strut and wheel/tyre, the Mayas will fit great. If there's less than 16mm, you would need a spacer to push the wheel out.

Now you can also compare the difference about the outer position of Maya wheels as well.

I hope this helps.
