My Ride: '06 550i Sport Package

Hello Members. I'm debating between styles 166 and 172 for my '06 550i. Will the 166s w/ M6 offset fit my car ok? Or, should I stick w/ the M5 size? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Style 166 will fit flush with fenders using m6 offsets. M5 offsets will need spacers to achieve the same look.

Thanks, NY530i. I pulled the trigger on the 166s w/ M6 offset. Great price from Bill at BMW of Roxbury (www.bmwrox.com). Sticking with OEM tire size-- 245/35/19 fr & 275/30/19 rear. Going with Pilot Sport AS Plus. (Have the Super Sports-- great tires, but rears were gone after only 1 year! Had the AS Plus last time-- lasted about twice as long w/ great performance.)

I love the look of my 166s w/M6 offset. Can't wait to hear what your impressions are of the Pilot Sport AS Plus. I opted for Continentals and they are way too soft.
