My Ride: 03 BMW E60 520i - Steptronic - Black Sapphire - Style 116 wheels (Pirelli PZero Rosso) - PDC - Beige Dakota Leather - Dark Poplar Wood
I know that this question may has been answered before but I'll appreciate if someone advice me on the following:
I currently have style 116 wheels (7.5Jx17" ET20) and I'm thinking to replace them with style 166 ones. The front wheels will be 8,5x19" ET12 and the rear ones 9.5x19" ET28. Does anybody know if they will fit without any extra modifications?

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
With the correct tyres, as laid out by Nik, they'll go straight on.

I just added a set to my 530I without sports package. With the OEM M5 tires it was hell. A lot of rubbing. I put 245/35 front, 285/30 rears and it is like a new car again. Nice look. Damn expensive tires.

check out www.salesafter.de German BMW dealer selling at pretty decent prices and also shipping to UK. You're still talking 1100 1200 quid wheels only.
You can also have a look at www.bmwmstyle.co.uk they do them at just under 1700,- all in (UK pounds that is)
