are they ET40 offsets? Or ET44? Don't remember. With 9.5, you can safely go to ET32 net effective offset. i.e. if your offset is ET40, you can put 8mm spacer on. Look at my old thread about Xi wheels and suspensions - it has all the info and posts from other people running various setups.


OP, you still didn't say if your car is AWD or RWD...

does using those cause more road filth to get thrown on the side of the car?

anytime you push your wheels out, flush to the fender, you have a higher chance of kicking up rocks and "filth" into the side of your car...

You are right, looks like I left the "i" off of 535i. These are just the stock wheels, if I remember correctly the xi with sports pkg doesn't include the 124 wheels.

Not negative at all, it's really hard to tell from these garage pics that aren't the exactly same angle. Maybe it is just my buyers-bias but the car as a whole seems to look more stable and "muscular" in the rear with the spacers.
