Just wanted to get some advice. I was able to get a ridiculously good deal on a set of 20" TSW Catalunya rims and tires and I originally bought them to use for a while then sell. Now that I have them on, I kind of like them but I'm not a big fan of the non-staggered setup. They're all 20x8.5 20mm with 245/35/20 tires. Unfortunately they are discontinued so finding 20x9.5 rims for the rears are impossible to find. What do you guys think about the look? I'll eventually get it lowered with an mtech kit. Would spacers in the back make it more tolerable or does the non-staggered setup look goofy? It's an 05 530i.

A) Yes they actually look pretty good on your car (especially with that color)
Yes 12mm spacers in the rear would make them look a whole lot better (PM Nerweezy for them)
C) Yes after the kit and the drop they will just look better

For the price you probably paid they seem pretty nice. I like a staggered setup to have a smaller lip in the front and larger lip in the rear which gives the car a much more aggressive stance. That and the rear being only 8.5'' would be my only gripes about your wheels. If you put a 12-15mm spacer on the rear it will look better from the sides but from the back the wheels will look pushed out and super skinny.

But if you like it keep 'em, if not there are a ton of other options out there.

Not a fan of the non staggered look. Since you got a good deal for them I would sell them if you can make some money. Get a staggered set. If not keep them. They will look good with the M-tech and drop.

Yea the non-staggered look on an e60 looks a little off. I wasn't a fan of staggered looks anyways but I'm coming from an evo where it's pure square setups. Hopefully I can get a buyer for these and save up for a set I really want. Not too bad for now though.

I think these wheels would suit a MB more then the e60.

Staggered is a must!
