Perhaps this is an old topic, but trying to find out more about wheel offsets. I've got a 535xi Touring, with 18" Style 124 wheels. The offset is listed as "ET:43".

I bought a set of 17" Style 138 wheels to put on some winter tires, but at the time I didn't realise that there are two versions, with different offsets :

3611 6 776 776 with ET:20 (for RWD)
3611 6 776 777 with ET:43 (for AWD)

Does this sound correct? I assume that I should not use the ET:20 wheel on my AWD 535xi?

If anyone wants a set of 4 Style 138 wheels, let me know ......

Correct - the xi's need the higher offsets. An offset of 20 will not fit properly.

to the forum!

Yes correct ... there's a 23mm handicap on the offset.

Take some pics of the wheels and put the price up for any potential interest.

GL!

Style 138 17" wheels with 20mm offset for RWD E60.
Asking $500.
Tires are OK condition, but not great. This would be great for someone wanting a spare set of wheels for winter tires. Would exchange for a set of 17" 43mm offset wheels!
