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!!
thanks for your insight, and take it easy man, didn't mean to piss you off...

Allow me to jump into the conversation as i believe Santa may be bringing me at set of M166 rims - M6 offsets.

These 19" rims will replace my 124s in the summer months.

Will running on the 166s effect my speedometer ???


Also, hoping I won't have to lower the car because of the appearance with these rims... because of my splitter already being soooo low !

Thanx in advance for any input.

Input your original tire sizes & the new target sizes here http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp and you'll be able to tell roughly how it'll effect your spedometer ... as far lowering its more of personal preference some will be OK some will see more gaps due to lower tire profiles.
