Hello guys, what would be the diference on m5 or m6 offset on a set of 166 wheels for a regular e60?
would the m6 offset fit fine on the e60?

yes M6 will fit fine, most members will recc and prefer the M6 offsets...

M5 and M6 offsets Front ET12
M5 offset rears ET 28
M6 offset rears ET 17

***the 11 mm difference pushes the wheel flush to the fender in the rear....that's why some members will add 10-12mm spacers to their 166's with M5 offsets...

ok geneatals thanks for the response man, so should I do m6 et12 and m6 et17 I have the 19" tires on 128 so I guess would be no rubbing or anything right ? would be the same thing as the interior of the wheel just the back a little bit flush to the car

thanks for the help man, I want the more stock classic look.. the 167's are very nice, way more expensive, but I already have the 128's
