Very nice, I like. So absolutely no rubbing at all in the rear? How long have you had these on? Are they almost even with the wheel well lip or sit a little inside? Sorry for all the questions, just want to make the right decision.

So if I bought a set with tires mounted the tpms obviously won't work, crap . Can you have them replaced with the old style? Or have to disable tpms altogether? If you can swap them out what kind of costs we talking about?

Thanks for the heads up.

I've had them for about 2 weeks But so far I've experienced no rubbing whatsoever in the rear. Here's a closer pic of the rear wheel so you can see for yourself, but it looks to sit a little inside.

Looks great but I couldn't get myself to buy 18"s....just my taste. I am going with Avant Garde M355's, with 19x9 ET35 and Conti ExtremeContact DWS's 245/40/19's as a square set up. I want a little ride comfort from the recommended 245/35/19 which I have now. I really like 19"'s on the E60's, plus the AG's being low pressure casts are a big plus in terms of durability. From all the posts on here I shouldn't run into any problems. Just hoping they are more comfortable/less harsh than my current set up.

OK, question for the xi experts on here. I'm currently in love with these rims:



I would like the staggered 19" 8.5 front, 10 rear. Front offset is 30, rear is 36. Would these fit without sticking out or rubbing? (Pretty sure back would be ok at 36, concerned about the front though.)

This is on a 2009 535i xdrive.

Finally was able to find some time and snap a couple of photos of what I was talking about.

Alufelgen CS7 Wheels /19"
Front Wheel Size:19x8.5 ET35

Continental ExtremeContact DWS Front: 245/35ZR19

I'm guessing this happens only during hard cornering since I do have a pretty good gap between inner tire and strut when wheel is even. Kind of sucks that everyone said there would not be any issues, weird that I'm the only one with this issue?

Both sides, no, this isn't an alignment issue. I started noticing some steering wheel shake around 45-60. guessing the rubbing is throwing off my wheels balance. Any suggestions? I don't think there's any possible way I can throw a 12mm hubbed spacer on there already running 35offset? What about a non-hub centric 5mm spacer?

let's not be too harsh on those who still struggle with 2-wheel brakes too

Even looking at tirerack, some of the backspacing on the recommended wheels is 6.5"+ with a ET40 offset?

Doing the math from stock OEM Style 243 which came with the car compared to my Alufelgen there's roughly .2"(approx. 5mm in difference) So I'm not too sure how this happened.

Backspacing
OEM : 3.75" + 1.69"(43mm) = 5.44"

Cs7 :4.25 + 1.37"(35mm) = 5.62"

Just wanted to share a couple of pics after the lowering (font: 35mm H&R Springs, rear: lowering of air-suspension via INPA)

Rims:
Front: 8½ x 19 ET 35
Rear: 9½ x 19 ET30

Tires:
245/35-19 on all 4 rims. Rears will be replaced with 275/30-19 when they are worn down.

Looking for a simple answer - I have an 07 530xi with sport package. I have found a set of 124's for sale but obviously don't want to buy them if they won't fit. The seller has cautioned me that they may not. The xi that year came with the same 17" wheels (style 122) as the 530xi without sport package, I believe because there was something different about the xi. The 530i (no x) with sport package that year came with a style 123 wheel which was also available as an option for the xi sport pkg. The style 124 was available in '07 for the 545i but the 07 sales brochure did not say that the 124 was available for the 530xi. I assume that was for good reason. The style 124's fit on the '08 535xi with sport package but I don't want to assume they will fit the '07 530. Can anyone help?
