As theres been a lot of talking about the offsets but still there are couple of questions i think i havent found the answer of. i am upgrading my mv2(style 135)18" which have a offset of 20 and wheel width of 8" to spyder spoke (style 172)19" which have a offset of 18 and wheel width of 8.5" front and 9.5" rear. As i have already asked this before but the answers i ve been getting are mixed, some say its a simple straight swap some say they will fit but not like simple straight swap, even though i have seen style 172 wheels on brand new cars at dealers which i believe come as standard on higher spec cars or even if they are an additional thing then the main dealer wouldnt fit it if they are not compatible with E60. so again i hope i ll get some clear answers. Thanks in Advance

They will fit perfectly unless you have an Xi model. There's your answer.
