Bah, wheelpower only has 10mm and 15mm in stock. I guess ill pickup the 10mm.
Yes, you should go for the 10mm because 15 mm will rub with 275 tire, when car is loaded i.e. with 5 persons (if car is dropped)

Do you want to see the difference between 10mm and 12mm? Here you go:

Top is H&R, bottom is Ichiba. I like the beveled edges on the Ichiba spacers. It'll make the removal process a lot easier than H&R.

The HR 10mm or 15mm I'm buying are a lot less than that price.

Vegas, your research is corresponding on M6 wheels (ET17)

The correct style 167 wheels for E60 (M5-ET28) just like 166s, is here:

Ok, what am I missing here. It sounds like if you get the M167 wheels as spec'd for an M6 (with ET17), then you wouldn't need any spacers, and it would work on near perfect. Wouldn't that mean that's the better setup to purchase? Or am I thinking about it wrong?

ET:17 would be a better setup, but they are harder to find. The reason why its harder to find is because it is not the standard setup on traditional M6.

Okay, I did enough research here about the 167s and 166s and their offsets.

167s have two offset for the rear wheel: ET:17(M6) and ET:28(M5). Most people when they order 167s, they get it with the ET:28 offset. If you're lucky and purchase 167s off a M6, you'll have the ET:17(M6) offset. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=...hg=36&fg=15


166s have one offset for the rear wheel: ET:28(M5).
