Yes that offset is WAY to high even for the rear unless you have 9.5-10 inch wheels back there. With 8.5 inch wheels a 15-20 is the offset you want for the fronts. With a 9.5 or higher wheel than 18-25 is the offset you want. The offset of 35 is for an e90 or xi e60

That off set is way too high. The CSL reps I put on my xi had 35mm offset and that moved the wheels out about .25" with out spacers. But your RWD 530 specs offset at about 20mm.

Hi all,

Can some experts here please help, this is so confusing.

I am about to purchase a set of Breyton GTS for my non-facelift 530i, tyre shop fella recommends:

Fronts 19" x 8.5" (ET 30) therefore to use 15mm spacers to bring offset to ET 15
Rears 19" x 9.5" (ET 35) therefore to use 15mm spacers to bring offset to ET 20

Is this the correct offset set-up?

Should I use 20mm spacers for the rear to bring the rear offset to ET 15 also?

Appreciate your advice. Thanks!

a 20mm will place added pressure on the hubs. I wouldnt go more than 15mm. Also make sure to ask tire rack guy the hub diameter too, also make sure the spacers are hub centric (after getting the hub diameter) and lastly you'll need longer wheel bolts!

Tire Rack includes new lugs. These are the same rims I plan on getting for my vehicle (545i). Very nice looking. Decent weight and good price.

Hello, please purchase OEM 166 rims. I say this because I care.

Thanks!
