I have been spending far too much time thinking about upgrading my '11 550i wheels -- the high end aftermarket 21s are out of my price range right now -- but I think I have come up with a great compromise. Just need confirmation that this will work.
I have always liked the 21" style 128s from the e65s, and though the style 311s are similar, they simply do not offer the concavity I am after. Unfortunately, however, the e65 128s only come in et24.
That said, the e65 9x21 et24 should work as a front wheel on an F10, right? Basically, if I understand offsets correctly, going from a stock front offset of et33, this would push the front wheel out 9mm, yes? (Unless a 9" wheel up front means that there is no room to push it out any farther from a standard et33?)
Assuming the et24s up front will work, that leaves the rears. It occured to me that the e70 x5 also offered style 128s in 21", albeit 10" up front and 11.5 in the rear.
So why can't I just source X5 fronts, which are 21x10 with offset of et40, and use them as my rear wheels on the f10?
Perhaps I will need spacers in the rear, but I am already running staggered OEM 19s et 44, so this shouldn't present a problem with the strut regardless, no?
I think the style 128s in 21" -- with a drop, a course -- will look amazing on the F10, so hopefully some of you can confirm if my plan will work.
Thank you!
