Does anyone know what the correct wheel offset is for a US spec 2007 530xiT?? I'd like to buy aftermarket type 166 wheels and the dealership doesn't seem to have the offset data.

Also, if anyone has good or bad experience with ITN wheels from LakeShore or Miro from AutoWerks, please reply.

Thanks,
Tim

The offset is ET43. Style 166 is not offered by bmw with that offset. I have not had experience with the companies listed.

ET43 it is...

There are quite a few OEM wheels (Not 166) that will fit: RealOEMWheels

You can get the 3 series offset of these wheels of ET 38 and they will fit. Don't do staggered though. Keep it at 19x8.5 at all 4 corners. Use www.1010tires.com and try their offset calculator to determine how it will effect the wheels in your wells.

What are some of the styles of wheels that can be used for the 530xit that BMW makes?

Also, what manufacturers would also make wheels for the 530xit?

Search any wheel that has an offset of around ET 38. Use this at all 4 corners. Make sure the center bore is the same and the bolt pattern and you should be set. The biggest I would go is 19x8.5.
