hey guys, i dont normally post on these forums but i always read em and had a question. i drive a 530xi and read a lot of xi wheel threads. I wanted to know if the miro 346s 19x8.5 ET:38 would fit okay on my car. Im not that knowledgeable about wheels but im guessing since the ideal offset for xi models is 43 that the miros would sit 5mm outward from stock right? Compared to my stock 138's which are 7.5x17 these wheels would add another inch outward on top of the 5mm because of the extra inch in width? i read a lot of C's Bimmer's posts and he said something about the rear wheels sticking out beyond the wells with wheels that have offsets which are too low but 38 seems pretty close to ideal. Anyone with an xi put on wheels with similar offsets/sizes? I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks a lot!

offsets of those staggered wheels we would put on an xi would be ET35 in front (no ET38 available) and ET40 in the rear.
