    Will I need spacers with this wheel swap?

    I just bought the staggered M5 (style 166) wheel set:

    I am currently running Style 122's:

    I want to get this on one time. I'm really bad at how offsets work, will i need spacers?

    Will I need spacers with this wheel swap?

    All going to be dependent on tire size, wheel width (change in wheel width), and offset/ backspace (change in backspace)

    Here’s an update!

    So I installed the E60 M5 wheel & tire setup and it’s not completely plug & play.

    I’m getting rubbing on both sides of the front of the car on dips in the road, so I’m thinking fender rolling or stronger springs up front may remedy the rubbing?

    I was also thinking of going 245/35 up front.

    Any thoughts?

    You never did say whether you have AWD or RWD. The 122's could go either way.
