Hey guys ... new to the forum as I picked up a 2008 Touring 335xi. I know the AWD throws a monkey wrench in world of offsets for this car but could someone direct me to where I can find some more info?
I was considering picking up some 20" M5 Replicas for the time being but was wondering where I should start with offsets and spacers (ideally i would like to run the rear fitment M5 reps on all 4 corners)
Cheers!

My Ride: 2007 530xiT: CPO purchase in 2008, used by a BMW exec previously, and like-new when I got it. Compared to my other cars, at first I thought it felt heavy and steering was too heavy. Now, I really enjoy driving it in town and on the freeway. On my
check realoem.com and look for replacement wheels for the xiT. they'll give you the offsets for factory wheels

Another source for you would be to look into E90/E91/E92 (non M3) 3 series wheels as the offset for those cars are pretty much identical to the xi E60/E61 5 series.

I did some research and came up with the stock offsets being 17x8 ET 43
I also looked into some wheels and the most aggressive wheel I could find was from BBS with 19x9.5 ET 32 (which IMO isnt aggressive at all lol) It seems like the M5 Reps (20") seem to be 20x9.5 ET22 so Im not sure those are going to work.
My last BMW was a E90 335i and I was running 20x9.5 Front and 20x11" rear. The Rears where ET30.
As you can see I LOVE the FLUSH look and Im not afraid to work for it (ie add camber, roll/shave fenders)
