I think the 19's and 20's look equally as nice! Nice choice on wheels btw!

Hello,

I have just bought an '04 530d and I wanted to get some help for the alloys... Last time I had rubbing on my E46
So for the E60, what size and offset can I get? I was thinking 8.5x19+9.5x19 or 8.5x20+10x20 but what offset do I need to get (ET) to avoid rubbing?
I am planning to lower it 25 or 35mm to make it look just right.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the question, but I REALLY don't want to go through the troubles a second time
i love those wheels your getting.. they give the car such a sporty aggressive look... go for the 19's if your worried about rubbing..

I will try and remember to get the details off my wheels as I've got 20's on a UK 525d M Sport and have not had any rubbing since using the correct spacers (went to wide originally!).
