My Ride: 2008 550i sport
that's good news on the staggered option. This is my 1st awd car, so I was just going off of what I was told. I was also told, and double checked realoem.com...that the AWD's have a different offset requirement. I think it's around 40mm. Anyway, those wheels are mint. I am looking at those same ones (different brand), so good choice in my book. Thanks.

One of the more important things is to ensure that overall tire diameter is the same or very close before and after. For example my stock tires are 25.9", 245/35/19 are 25.8 and 275/30/19 are 25.6. Keeping the size the same ensures your speedo isnt off and gives you the balancing the car ws designed for.
I'm going a little agressive and putting 10's on my rear, hopefully it works out

I guess someone should tell BMW that they screwed up by putting staggered wheels on my X5 then. I guess my X5 is going to fall apart with the AWD system, since I have staggered wheels. Someone should also tell BMW to not offer the 124 wheels on the 535xi as an option, because that's a staggered set-up and BMW should know better. Hahahahaha!

Please note the offsets on these wheels, along with the widths for each. Now please notice what model car this is for. Thank you.
Hahahaha! I find these threads so amusing.
I had a 2007 530xi Sport and had staggered, 19" wheels. I had NO problems. They worked GREAT and you could totally tell the difference with the wider rears. Just make sure you get high offset wheels and not wheels that fit the standard RWD E60 or you will be in for quite a surprise.
Here are some old pix of my XI.
