There are no driveshaft or hub differences between sport and non sport models
Only ones like the M5 have diifferent lengths, thus different offsets

[/quote]Interesting. When I bought my 540 in 2001, the brochure showed a diagram of the sport model with a narrower dimension from the center line of each rear tire relative to the non sport model. I don't recall, but I think the rear wheels are an inch wider but have a half inch narrower dimension than non sport equipped cars although the measurement to the outer part of the tires is wider. I think they split the difference in the extra width so that all the width would not show up on the outer portion of the car.
The brochure on the 05 models just shows one diagram but disclaims that the dimesions are for standard models or something like that. I am surprised that all the width of the wider tires shows up on the outside of the car as opposed to taking up some of the width on the inside.

That's crazy that 19x9.5's rub when you can fit 20x11's on it.
