Can someone please explain wheel offset to me? and Whats the correct offset for a 525i please? I'm going for 19" rims. Thank you.
As such there isn't an 'offset' for a 525i. The standard 16", 17" and 18" wheels have ET20. If fitting 19" wheels the official sizes are 8.5Jx19ET18 front and 9.5Jx19ET32 rear. With 245/35R19 and 275/30R19 tyres. This is a staggered setup. If fitting non-staggered use the front sizes on the rear...

What is staggered and non-staggered? Whats the difference, disadvantage, advantage?
(Remember BMWs are generally rear-wheel drive)

I checked my orginal setup, its the same back and front. So should I go with the staggered setup, I only have a 525, which is kinda low on power already if I have a staggered setup, it would lower the power more...

Here is a great site to get the "real deal" OEM specs on BMW wheels. You will find the manufacturer's offsets for each wheel.

Hope this helps.

The link doesn't work anymore since the guy had to delete all the pics. A copyright issue...
In order to properly use the site, you need to know the wheel's style number. Then simply select the little question mark icon (?) near the style wheel you want the information on. You will then see all the specifications for that particular style of wheel.
See example of Style 166
Sorry about the confusion.
