Hello,
I recently purchased the OEM M6 wheels from a local dealer. Can someone please let me know what tire sizes do I need? The dealer told me that the OEM M6 wheels are perfect fit for the 5 series (same lug bolts, sizes, and etc) and told to use 245/35/19 (front) & 275/30/19 (rear). Can someone please confirm whether what he said is true?
Is it possible to use 245/35/19 & 285/30/19? I'd like to have more tire wall for better protection and comfort. Will larger tire size causes any problems such as rubbing and etc...?
Thanks.

Either sizes will work, but i would go with the 275 in the rear since the M6 offset is more aggressive. Vince.

How can i tell which offset do I have? Are all M6 wheels have same offset? I looked at the RealOEM.com it seems like they have ET:12, 17, and 22.
which offset is the right one for the 5 series? I would be really appreciated if you could point out for me...

I think I was confused at first !!! So here is what I have understood so far after researching the forum.
I purchased the 167M wheels. I am not sure whether the wheels i bought are the M5 or M6 offset. I will have to call the guy up tomorrow. I am very sure he will allow me to exchange it if the one I bought does not fit.
M6 (E63) - 8,5 x 19 Front (ET 12) and 9,5 x 19 Rear (ET 17)
M5 (E60) - 8,5 x 19 Front (ET 12) and 9,5 x 19 Rear (ET 28)
SO, Can someone please tell me which Offset is the right one for the e60 5 series. Do I need to install any spacer to make it fit perfectly? Please let me know

So,
If my wheels are M6 (E63) - 8,5 x 19 Front (ET 12) and 9,5 x 19 Rear (ET 17).
I am good to go? does that mean that the M5 offset won't work in this case
