The m6 spec is better. It is like you have spacers of about 11 mm on the rear. It looks more aggressive, because the wheels stick out more!! Look at my pics from my sig. you will see different configurations and trust me, the best option is if you take the m6 spec with offset 17.

I guess it comes down to preference...how much of a "staggered" look you really want....GL

Hey Kevlar301!!!

hold on. You should be ordering the M6 spec that comes with offset 12 for the front, and offset 17 for the rear.

Regarding the tires. You MUST go for 245/35/19 for the front and you SHOULD go for the 275/30/19 for the rear although you COULD opt for 285/30/19. The option you quoted in posting #1 (285/35/19) is a no-go!!!!

So again - offset 17 for the rear wheels and personally, I would opt for the 245/275 conbination with a tire brand that make wider tires (such as vredestein)..

tnx rumman

+1 The M166 ET17 rear off set is made for the M6 but is the perfect offset for the rear of the e60 with 275/30-19's and you will have no rubbing issues. You could have a problem with rubbing with 285's.

Most guys that get the ET28 rear offset end up running spacers to push the rears out further. With the ET17 off set you will get t he same look these guys are going for but no spacers are needed.
