Hi guys, im new to this forum.
im looking to get beyern mesh 19" staggerd, and i really have no idea what sizes give perfect fit without rubbing.
19x8.9 front & 19x9.5 rear? what are the fitting offsets for those?
what sizes i should get for tires?
i want tight fits..any suggestion?

I just went through this same situation with my xi. I got the beyern mesh 20's . You need to pay attention to the offsets, they are different from all other e60s. Bayern claims the et40 is the correct offset for xi's. Beyern only has et20 , et25 and et 40 ...I think. The et 20 range is for all the other 5ers. The xi is kind of the blacksheep of the family as far as wheel fitments go. 19/8.5 and 19/9.5 shouldnt give you any rubbing issues as long as you get et 40 offsets. I know a lot of dudes on here have a staggered setup on their xi's so must not be a problem. The place where I got my wheels from scared me out of going with the staggered setup lol

thanks for the suggestions!
do you think 235/35/19 front and 265/35/19 should be good on them?

tires: 235/35or40/19 fronts - 255/35or40/19 <---------setup for 19's

BMW recommended offset for xi's is 43.
I think all 3 series wheels also have a mid 40's offset.
Since this is measured in millimeters, 3mm's on either side is not going to be an issue with rubbing.
Those are really nice wheels.
good luck

All of your tires size suggestions above are wrong.
It's 245/35/19 in front and 275/30/19 in rear, on a staggered setup...using 8.5" and 9.5" rims front to back. You can use a 285 in the rear as long as your offsets allow it.
You want around an ET35-40 in front and ET40-45 in the rear for staggered.
