Found the answer.
5er E60 ff.
M5 8,5x19 vorne 255/40R19 ET 12 13,27
9,5x19 hinten 285/35R19 ET 28 13,27 Kg
6er E63 ff.
M6 8,5x19 vorne 255/40R19 ET 12 13,26
9,5x19 hinten 285/35R19 ET 17 13,26 Kg

M6 offset is lighter than M5 offset(even without spacer and longer bolts added weights).

I weighed my M5 wheels on a calibrated scale last time I had the tires off.
Front: 27.8 lbs (that's 12.61 kg)
Rear: 28.2 lbs (that's 12.79 kg)

So dumb question.....why does the 166 come in an M5 and M6 offset?? Since the wheel is stock on M5 and not on M6.
Also, both can be ordered through dealer??

Thx Gene...
C,
well 166 is the style number for a particular rim that BMW makes for the BMW M5 produced from 2006-present...
Here is a picture to illustrate the 166 style rim
always glad to help...
