My Ride: Black 2006 BMW 530i with sport and prem package, staggered 124 wheels, 50% tint, AC Schnitzer aluminum pedals, black interior w/ alum trim set, M style body kit and sound upgrade: Alpine PDX-5, PXE-H660, sub, MBQuart speakers.
Allright, I've been reading a lot of old posts regarding this topic but could not find the answer I was looking for.
Will an M6 set of M166 fit a regular non-M e60?
Front: Offset 12, tires 245/40R19
Rear: Offset 17, tires 275/35R19
if not, will I need spacers/hubcentrics or not even with that, and if they do will they look good, or stick out too much? would these M6 wheels work with different tires?
Help!
Thx!

The offset will be a perfect fit but the tire sizes will not ... the best sizes are 245/35-19 up front & 275/30-19 on the rear.

the front are the same for both, but the rear M6 offset is 17 and for the M5 the rear offset is 28.
If I get the M5 wheels then what tires do I need to use in the rear?

So the tire size is the same for either offset (M6=17 or M5=28), correct? (Rear tire=275/30-19)

Hey, what part of the conversation didn't you understand? M6 staggered and flush with rear fenders! No you don't need spacers with these!!
If you get the M5 166 rims then you would need spacers if you wanted the flush look on the rear rims!!
