Let's see! Where in Washington? auto or manual?

Doofus in a bronze v70r tried to drop me today and he was probably 60+ yrs old. Seemed very grumpy about the surprise I gave him. I know the v70R is quick but it's still not as quick as either my Audi S4 or this e61 with the Dinan ecu tune.

My Ride: 2007 525xi black/black
Default

Hey guys. OK so I am trying to decide whether or not I want to go 18" or 19" for my rim upgrade mod on my Black '07 525XI AWD. The feedback I am getting is that with going with 18's, I won't need to drop the car; with 19's though I will, due to high offset. And supposedly 20"'s will rub?? Can someone verify this? I really like the 18's and less $ and work is a plus.

For the 18's, I am looking at these rims(59617(18x8 front)/59619(18x8.5 back))... Would they fit? Offsets? Would I need spacers?
http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item2eb39f6a5e

In 19", I am looking at the M6 style rims (19x8.5 front/19x9.5 rear). Would these fit? I know I need a drop. What are better, H&R with Blistens, or KW v3? Will I need low profile tires to fit? Spacers? Offsets?
http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item43a6322871

Please help me out people!!!! Any feedback is appreciated....

Guys, can we please read the thread at least, before we start asking about offsets again?

Would these OEM 128s work on a 528xi? Is this a decent price?
