Hey guys, I am looking to put on the factory M6 (style 167m) wheels on my 535. Do I need any spacer for the front and rear? and what would the recommended tire size for them? Thank you for looking.

Thank you for your respond guys, I have one more question. Currently they do have the very good condition original tires mounted, they are 255 40 19 in front and 285 35 19 in rear. Would I have any problem if I dont change the tires??

they will rub...255's for sure...since these are m6 wheels, the rear offsets of ET17 + the 285 tire will most likely cause rubbing if you have the sport pkg and/or planning in dropping it..

here;s a good thread on tire sizes for 19" wheels+tires...

Thank you for your respond, FYI, my car is fully loaded with sports and premium. I am not going to do much mods. Will only add the M-tech rear bumper and the m6 wheels. Will share some pics once complete. I will go ahead and purchase the tires..
