Gents, I appreciate your help as I don't know much about RIMS and that's why I'm looking for your help. So can put 285s on the back without rubbing with four passengers in the car?
Also what is the difference between the original M5 RIMS and the M6 offsets for the back?
I'm going this weekend to check the wheels and make sure they don't have any curb damage. Wish me luck!!

M5 offset and M6 offset fronts are the same ET12,
Rear M5 Offset ET 28
Rear M6 Offset ET 17
The M6 offset will put your rear wheels flush with the fender...
go with 275's in the rear if you don't wanna sweat rubbing
for a great tire size breakdown..
