...you do now! No spacers on my E60 with M5 rims!
+1, just put 166's (M5 offsets) on my e60, no plans for spacers...

well i'd be cautious about getting the m6 offsets. mine have been rubbing, especially in the rears. Sounds like other 166 owners w/ sport pkg don't have any issues , am I the only one???

tires are 275/30 in the rear and 245/35 front.

I've got 166 (m6) offsets with CSC3 275/30 245/35 and NO rubbing at all. It's also lowered on Eibach springs as well.

Just an update - They don't have the 166 M6 offsets in stock, only the M5 ones .

15 days for them to come in. I'm so not patient.

2 weeks isn't so bad, you've waited this long. GL

They got in yesterday!!

Couldn't be more pleased with them. The M6 offsets are PERFECT. Wanted the Bridgestone but none available, PS2's were on back order, so I got the Yoko's. Time will tell if my impatience bites me in the ass, but I've read good reviews..

Here's a very quick pic. I'll be doing a proper photo shoot out in the desert here soon.

Yay! Before one added.
