Wheel offset recommendations
I've been thinking about upgrading the 19" stock wheels on my E70 for some time now but unfortunately there aren't many reasonably priced options in the 22" size. I really like the look of concave wheels and would absolutely love to get the 22" Vorsteiner wheels but they're too rich for my blood.
So, the only option left is the Eurosport Monza. 22" M6 reps is another one but don't like the "empty" look. The question is, which offset should I go for? Option A: 22 x 10 ET+40 mm 22 x 11 ET+40 mm Option B: 22 x 10 ET+35 mm 22 x 11 ET+30 mm One of the well known online vendors is selling an Option B set but one of the rear wheels has ET+35mm and the other has ET+30mm. They're offering to shave 5mm off the ET+35mm to make it 30mm so that it matches the other rear. Should I even consider this? I don't know much about wheels/offsets and would appreciate any any input.

I'll put on extended flares before upgrading the wheels and would like them to be flush with the flares if possible without using spacers. So, the lower the offset the further they'll "stick out"? And what about shaving an extra 5mm off to make them 30mm, does that compromise the wheel in any way?

it has been debated that shaving a back pad of a wheel would compromise it. In some cases it might........for a vehicle as heavy as the X5 i would probably not do it.
yes, the lower the offset the more it will stick out in relation to oem fitment. you'll be fine with option B |

I guess I'll have to pay the local wheel dealer a visit and see what other options I have.
