Mellow, your car is absolutely amazing! Real proud of you bro. I remember when you got your first set of wheels. Your persistence has paid off.

Btw, would you mind sharing your offset for these wheels? Also, what springs are you on? Thanks.

Thanks hoss. I missed that the couple of times I combed through it. My ACS drop looks like a normal factory height (the OEM 4x4 F10 suspension height is NOT normal ).

- What is the problem with staggering wheels on a BMW of different sizes like they do on 'Vettes. 'Vettes runs staggered sizes; e.g. 18x8.5 front and 19x10 rear. This gives the car a more aggressive look with smaller/narrower tire front than back. Why not? what problems would it cause on a BMW? I'm just sayin'.

BMW "invented" the staggered wheel set up... They have had staggered wheels optional or standard on many models and still do. At least in Europe, where a M-sport F10 will come with 245 front and 265 rear as well as different witdh wheels. The M3/4, M5 and M6 has a staggered setup as standard.

On x-drive they usually don't do staggered because of the need to keep rolling diameter similar front and rear.

One of the best F10's to look at if you want to decide between 19" and 20" is the M5.

The standard size is 19", with 20" optional.

Since there are loads of M5's on 20" wheels, I'll post a few on 19" just so you can see how that looks. I think there are positives on looks both for the 19" and 20" setup, it's all down to personal preference I guess...

I've got 19 x 8.5 squared setup on my 528 xdrive. Can you recommend a tire size for that look in the m5 pics?

The M5 has 265/40R19 on a 9" rim and 295/35R19 on a 10" rim.

You could possibly do 255/40R19 square setup I guess on your 8,5" rims. I have 255/40 and 285/35 on 9" and 10" rims (see page 5 on the "Post your favourite pic" thread, mine is the Havana brown).
