Default Tire size
Hi Everyone,
i just scored some 19's for my 535xi. I have a staggered setup so they are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 in rear. Any suggestions on tire size for these wheels?

They are the BBS M5 wheels.

I thought you can't stagger XI car wheels. Did you want non run flat tires or do you want run flat?

OEM 166 M5 wheels won't fit on an XI as the offsets will not work AFAIK

Yup! ... in another way ... simply fit yes but it'll be way out of whack lookwise.

i'm confused, so are these reps or OEM? if OEM, there is no correct offset for xi's...but if these are rep m5 wheels then by all means you are good to go...

have you tried using the forum tire and wheel calculator in the upper nav bar, under "Tools"
