What to do , heres the scenario

19x8.5 and 19x.9.5 staggered set up

the 19x8.5 are due out beginning of June but the 19x19.5 late june possibly late July


the difference between the 19x8.5 and the 19.x9.5 is the lip on the 9.5 is 3" and the lip on the 8.5 is 2.25

is it worth the wait?
could i just get spacers make it look better?

Here is the 19x8.5 that will be debuted at bimmerfest this weekend

i'd wait for a wider lip. you've waited this long. what's a few more months. or go to bimmerfest and take a look and if you like, pull the trigger.

Go with staggered, no question. I had non-staggered Lorinser LM5 on my last car (C320 Benz). After a few months I wished I had gone with the staggered fitment. I have staggered on my e60 5 now and I love em.

staggered!

19 x 8.5 front sounds good.
for rear, how about going with 19 x 10 if they have it?

See it that way, spacers don't replace the dish (lip)
