-you think staggered won't wokr on an xi no matter what, huh? errr... I'll still try it - can't beat the price - 500 bucks!!! For OEM twenties! And I love the design - sort of looks like Alpina
Yep, so far I have two responses: one from my SA, who said "...because I'm BMW, I cannot recommend that you put anything other than what the car came with..." (pretty much meaningless), though he did say that it might rub while turning. And the second from the shop that installed a lip for me - they think it will not work, because it will stick out. He also said that they might trip out some sensors, like ABS and speed - is that true? Those of you who have 20s and bigger rims, do you get errors from bigger wheels?
Anyway, I'm not giving up! Can someone please walk me through what I should do to make sure the rims fit? I know that I have to have a matching bolt pattern and offset. Offset is somewhat flexible, as I understand - as long as it doesn't rub, basically. I can go and have the shop mount the rims and see if they'll fit the bolt pattern and clear internals. But the tires on the rims are from a 745, so they'll definitely rub, but how do I ensure that with the proper tires these rims do not cause problems?
And is that too many questions? LOL
Thanks, y'all!

Actually, bro, it kinda does LOL
but not to worry, yours is still the ruling hot cake of this forum - at least of the pics that I've seen
BTW I think I totally f***ed up with those rims - I let a buddy of mine have a crack at them on his e38 750 and I totally didn't realize that they'd work on an 'i' - my best friend's gettin' a 535i in a week or two (btw I hunted down an awesome lease for him - 520 a mo!!!!!!!! All you 535 guys, eat your hearts out! I know I'd take that deal any day - just that my car wouldn't catch on fire in time hahaha
)
