nothing special but if you ask for the offset they dont tell you. You just have to say wanted lip size and car and then they do the rest

maybe our test result can help you out: i can add O,5 cm spacer in front and 1 cm spacer in the rear.
Converted in inch: front i can add 0.2 inch and rear i can add 0.4 inch

if i add this i am max out to clear the fenders with the wheels and have the fattest look

You still need the DPE offset with those figures you posted.
No worries about it mate. I'm just trying to gather up as much info as I can on what offset people are running on their E60 so I can have a better idea when the time comes in building an E60 with the proper offset. And yes I'm with you- I love the "fat" look too. that's why I want to figure the right offset without having to run spacers. All about custom right.. haha, you should know that

hehe yes i love that to. The style 172 wheels i had 1 cm spacer in front and 2 cm in the rear. That was maxed out. If i put 1 mm more on the spacer i hit the fenders.

So now the dpe wheels are fatter already so i need no spacer or less spacer depending on the look you want
I always go for the max

i did notice that the website says front 8 and rear 1O size but the front is 8.25 in real when we messured it
