You should know that a lot of the M5 replicas (like my own) come 19 x 8 front 19 x 9 rear.
They also come 74.1mm outside hub diameter, which is perfect for the "xi" (no so perfect for other 5-series models, which need hubcentric rings to increase the 72.56 outside diameter).

The M5 replicas I am thinking of going with only comes in 19x8.5 or 19x9. I can't go with a 9" width, because the rear wheel hubs are placed further out, hence they are going to rub on the outside rear; and there is no way of fixing that at all.
I wish the XI models were as easy to swap on wheels like the non-XI models.
