Default 535xi wheel fitment

Does anyone know how these would fit on a 08 535xi? Just need a quick answer before pulling the trigger. TIA

I don't believe the offset will fit the xi. Hopefully someone could chime in. But they look really great.

Yeah, even if they somehow did fit, I'm sure the ride would definitely be rough. They do look great tho.

the offset you need would be closer to 40 or 45

+1 rear offset especially is too aggressive for an XI model, that is the rear fitment usually put on a non-XI model.

Ok so just for future reference, what would be the optimum offsets and tire sizes for 19" wheels on an Xi? How is the comfort of the ride on that size wheel? I'll have 3K to spend by summer and would like the correct info prior to purchasing. Thanks guys

Yea the listed offsets dont seem like they'd work but the odd thing is that typically the wheels from a 335i have the same offsets as that work for the 535xi. Might want to double check that he doesnt have his offsets wrong.

X cars need a high offset wheel. Those rear tires are to narrow for those wheels anyways.

I had 9.5" with 20 offset in the front with 10.5" 15" offset in the rear of my XI and did not have an issue. The only issue you might have is those tire sizes. Check 1010tires to see if those tire sizes will work. I was using 245/40 with 285/35
