Could anybody post the offset range, diameter range, and width range for an '06 BMW 530xi?

Not sure if these are correct:

Offset range: 10 - 25
Diameter range: 17 - 20
Width range: 7.50 - 9.00

The factory XI style 124 wheels are 18 x 8 offset +43 front, and 18 x 9 offset +55 rear. Most aftermarket companies say +35 is about where you want to stay so that the front wheels don't stick out past the fender edge. The 530i wheels won't work on the 530xi. Just look at tirerack.com and look at the specs on several wheels - BBS for example - and the XI needs about a +35 offset.

It's actually easier if you just look for E90 (3 series) BMW wheels as the offsets are about what you want for the 5 series XI.

What wheels are you looking at?

Well right now I was thinking the Tenzo GF-7 but I'd rather have the 5-Zigen ProRacer +520.

XI's offset is 43mm. It is different then non-XI model.

For a 2007 XI
* Style 138
* Part # 6 767 538
* 17 x 7.5
* offset 43mm

I have a sets of four above rims with tire pressure sensor installed. They are from original 2007 530xi with only few hundred miles use. PM me if you are looking for them.

It looks like the 5-Zigen Proracer +250 is available in a +37 offset. I'd look at those for your xi.
