Hi everyone,
I have a 2008 535xi. I am still new to this whole BMW and am trying to figure out what I can do to my car. As some of you know, I recently had a cracked wheel and just bought one to replace it. I am thinking once I have the whole set, I will sell my current square set and purchase a staggered set. I am looking at a few options and am hoping that someone can verify whether they will fit on my x-drive.
Set I am looking at:
Front: 19x8.5" (offset 33)
Rear: 19x9.0" (offset 33)
Front tire: 245-40-19
Rear tire: 275-35-19
Since my current set is 19"x8.5 with offset 35 (ET35) and the tires are 245x35R19, do you think the set I am looking at will fit in my car?

Yup...same car! They're the same size tires on a staggered setup of 19" CSL reps from OemWheels.com.

Yup yup I know...it's one of the things on my list! I got it last Feb., and been reading this forum day and night to gather whatever info I can. It's Cobb tuned, got the CSLs and even hardwired my radar detector thanks to this place! Next is KW V3's, AR DPs, and hopefully a custom exhaust.

Just found out that rear wheel could be 19x9" ET44 (not ET35). Will they still fit? It might go in really far right? I am going to pick them up tomorrow, but if they don't fit my 535xi, then there's no point. I am looking at the BMW #331 style staggered set that just came off an 535i 2011.
