F10 tire / rim offsets

Hi all,
Any Brothers able to advise on what are the correct offsets for the F10 in sizes of 18,19,20 inches tyres - without resorting to the use of spacers?

Thanks much.
(BTW, are the 7-series original 18in rims and tyres able to fit the F10 without spacers?)

Relative to wheels for the F10, I currently have 19" wheels (style 356) on my '16 535d xdrive. Since I am not a huge fan of large rims and RF tires, I am thinking of replacing my wheels and tires with 17" wheels (Style 327) and the appropriate-sized non RF tires in the future. While it appears that F10's were sold with 17", 18" and 19" wheels depending on engine and trim levels, is there any clearance reasons that the 17" wheels would not fit my F10? For example, were there any mid-production changes to brake rotor and calipers size that might interfere with the smaller diameter wheels?

I realize that going to smaller rims and narrower tires is contrary to the typical wheel/tire upgrade, but I see no reason to pay more for 19" tires when the smaller diameter wheels and tires ride smoother and are much lighter. Moreover, winters in my area result in wheel-busting potholes that do not work well with 19" and 20" rims.

The smaller 17" wheels are plentiful, but I don't want to purchase a set without some certainty they'll fit. So thanks in advance for any input on the matter.

Only the 550i needed 18", the rest fits 17".

Thanks. I suspected that was the case, but you've confirmed it.

You should start your own new thread.
Get the part number and Google it.

Thanks guys !
Just and FYI in regards to the part database and diagrams...the encircled numbers indicate HARDWARE. As you can see in the diagram you posted...all of the encircled numbers (like #9) have there own key within the illustration. You can see #9 is a push pin...and this would also be revealed if you scrolled down to the part number index BELOW the diagram.

And as wcr3d suggested...it's easy to find parts once you have their 11 digit BMW part number. You can either call or stop by your local BMW dealers Parts Dept (not the service dept) and get a price quote as well as see if they have it in stock or need to order it. And you can simply type "BMW xx xx x xxx xxx" (where x=the actual BMW part number) into a google/internet search box and it should pull vendors that sell the part online. Unless it is a very rare and specific F10 part...there are usually a good list of the regular online vendors that will have the part available.

Good luck.
