My Ride: 535D AM SPORT 06 (07 for you US Guys ;-) Carbon Black Professional Sat Nav 6CD Changer Automatic Aircondition Advance (Standard fit) Bluetooth Telephone Preperation with Telematics Preperation Extended Voice Control System M 19" Mixed Wheels Style 172M BMW Online BMW Assist Graduated Tinted Windscreen Bi-Xenon Headlights Adaptive Headlights Headlight Wash System Black Dakota Leather Rear Spoiler Spare Wheel M Rear Spoler Sun Protection Glass Heated Front Seats BMW Velour Floor Mats BMW Service and Maintenance for 5 years/60,000 miles Tracker - Echo

Anyone know if the 535d can take the M6 alloy wheels without any modifications? I am being offered a set and am very tempted to take them but the guys not sure if they'll rub?

Cheers

Ps If I do then i have a set of 172M 19" with decent tread tyres for sale in the UK

what tires are on the alloys? 255/285 or rather the standard 245/275 setup? what is the offset of the rear wheels, 28 or 17?

I think the 245/275 option is less likely to give issues but you'll need new tyres...!

you are better off taking the 245/275 combination. die diameter of the wheels have the same size as stock whereas the 255/285 are slightly bigger so your speedo might be slightly off. .. a number of forum members have gone for the combo 245/85 but just for the looks, nothing more...

Cheers lads - will have to give these a miss then as i'll need new tyres! I have no choice on tyres as these are off a new M6 - the guys put on 20" Kahns instead!
