I know the stock M5 wheels are 19" but i also see them for sale in 20". Have most of you guys gone to the 19 or 20? I have decided to buy M5 wheels now just want to make sure I buy exactly the right thing. Something tells me the 19 will look a bit small. Best place to buy a M5 wheel and tire pkg?
Thanks,
Vince

I believe the 20" are not OEM they are replicas, as to the 19" looks small from what I've heard from other memebers that you should get the M6 Offsets for the back wheels which will give it the wider look and no spacers needed. Where did you see the 20" M166?

Westcoast550, how much did Gary charge you? Did you get the M6 offset for the back?

If you are going to go the OEM route, get the M6 offset IMHO.....GL
