I am pretty certain most 3 series rims will work on an 530xi but wanted to get input- OEM, FACTORY BMW M3 19" ALLOYS, Front 8"/19..Rear 9.5" /19- not certain on offset- does i need to be 35mm?

Center bore for M3 wheels may not work ... offset 35MM or higher will fine w/o requiring spacers. Get the definitive info from "C"!

What offset did you go with in the rear?

Obviously, the 40's work, as that what many people have done, but C added spacers to get his more flush. I'm still really curious if the 33 would fit perfectly flush. My math tells me that it should be aggressive, but doable (even with a mild drop), but I don't know if I trust my math!

I'm just wondering if anyone has actually tried it. I'm not doing rims till the spring, so I won't be test fitting till then, but it would be great to get confirmation from others.

C is the resident expert on the XI's. I was one of many who attended the "C school of the XI".
The CSL style wheel is what I went with and they work great!

First I was just a nooB who didn't know the difference between the Xi and i offsets and had no idea how to calculate overall rolling diameters and make sure my differential doesn't fvck up because of the rims. But it all ended when I met C on the forums. He's truly changed my life

PS I'm still rolling stock 123s
