Do the 166s or 167s fit on the xi? If so what type of tire setup would you have to run?

Not the OEM ones, have to get replicas with offset of ET 35 or higher. And probably not wider than 8.5".

I went with the 135m's on my Monaco Blue xi and I love them because you don't see them around and they clean up really easy with a good wheel brush. I bought them from Gary at BMW of Newport ( That's Rhode Island) and got a great deal. He know his stuff. Also got the TPM's from him and the 25% member dicount we get blew everyone away. An added bonus was just talking to someone who knows what works with the 530xi. Everyone else at my dealership and a few others I called couldn't give me a straight answer on what works. Lots of suggestions that my warrantee would be voided with the wrong setup
beemerdreamer How you doing? My name is rick and I just picked up the 535xi. I wanted to know if you could post a pict of your car with the wheels on. I'd like to see if this is something I may be interested in. How is the ride with those wheels, does it feel stiff and better handling? I love my car but i'm a little dissapointed with the soft ride it provides with the OME wheels no sport pack.

Thanks Rick....
