Search on my old threads. And check out My Gallery in my profile (towards the back) to see pictures of my old, 2007 530xi Sport. I was running 19" staggered wheels on that car.

Also search the forums for v_therussian.

He started a thread specifically around XI wheels. There's lots in there including some posts from me. Most of us would recommend 19x8.5 +35 in the front, and 19x9.5 +33 in the rear - that's what I have on my car and it sits pretty nice and flush.

I'm not lowered yet, but I will be next week, so I'll post pictures then.

Fair point. Props to gangsta C.

The thread you started for us poor XI members is a nice consolidation though.
