Hey guys.
m166 M5 wheels have 12/28mm offset
m166 M6 wheels have 12/17mm offset
It seems like a lot of members are putting 10mm-12mm spacers on the rear wheel when putting M5 wheels. If this is the case, would it make more sense to just M6 wheels which has 17mm offset in the rear so that spacers are not needed?
Do I have something mixed up here? What is the reason the members go for M5 wheels instead of M6? ..... availability?
Please excuse my stupidity if above post doesn't make sense.

what color is your e60? many say that the 166s look better on light colored cars and 167s on darker colored cars.
