Hi I am new to this forum. I like the 167 wheels too. I drive a 2007 530xi, will those fit my car? Also what are the advantages of OEM wheels, replicas, and the wheels listed in the BMW accessories catalogue? Thanks!

No. You will need to use replica 167 with a high offset for your xi model. Ask cmansbimmer all about wheels for the xi model. He'll probably see this thread and chime in.

And,

525xi & 530xi have different offsets than non xi cars. Our cars have an offset of 43mm vs 20mm on non xi E60's. However, there is still some room for play depending on what width of rims you go with. So for us, I recommend not going any lower than 35mm, or else the wheels will stick too far out of the front fender.

The only way you can fit 167's on xi E60s, is by going with replicas from ModBargains. You should be safe with 19x8.5 ET35 for the front, and 19x9.5 ET40 for the rear. Email them, they're very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to wheels.

Agreed. You won't get these to go on your xi, but just an idea of 20" with factory sport suspension and M tech bumper. Hope this helps...

I'd LOVE to see pics of an e60 with the 167 wheels on stock (non-sport) suspension. I'm very tempted to unload my 166's for the 167's. Please post pics as soon as you get them. I haven't seen anyone with 167's on non-sport suspension yet.
