Wheels for my M5.. Not Happy!
These are the wheels that my friend Ev suggested and they finally came... AFTER 5 months!
They look ok, BUT I ordered matted black and i got glossy.  So pissed!
Now I have to wait until this problem is resloved before I can put in on the car  .
On the good side, the front lip measured about 3 inches and the rear was over 5. The front wheels will clear the 355mm Stoptechs with much space but the rear is limited to the 345mm. They are very light!
They are:
19X9 +18
19X10.5 +10

The outer lip of this wheel is going to be pushed 33mm outward, compared to stock. Do you have that much clearance or are you planning to install a 4WD lift kit? From what I've seen, some stock M5's rub.

Wrong rims
That was pretty nice of the manufacture to ship your rims with spending cash included.

I guess we'll fine out when they "try" to put it on.
The only clean bill I had was a fifty. Didn't want a raggady bill on a clean rim.

Stock rear offset is +22, my rear 18x9.5 Kinesis K28s were inadvertently made with +19 and with the 3mm-thicker-than-stock Stoptech rear hats I get occasional minor rubbing with stock-size 275/35 rears, so either you've got a typo there or your rear wheel fit is hopeless.
The rears go back to Kinesis when I wear out my rear tires, they're going to take 4mm off the hub mating flange which should get me enough clearance as long as I don't ever intend to run 285/35 rears.

Although I prefer the stock wheels, and probably will never change them, if I *did* I'd probably get *those*. They are some sweet looking wheels!  (even if you don't like them)

I don't have the stoptech's yet, so i might have to look into that.
Well, it was close as hell but luck was definitely on my side.
Fronts: 19X9 +18 with Toyo T1-R 265/30/19
The only issue here was that the wheels were hitting the PSS9's. After a block's worth of shaving off some metal from the inside wheel, we had to raise up the car about 1/8th inch (only on the driverside - no, I'm not that heavy, the height was not even from left to right) so the wheels would clear the perches.
Rears: 19X10.5 +10 with Toyo T1-R 285/30/19
Keep in mind that my car was already lowered. After the wheels were on, it didn't look like it was going to clear the fenders. They were sticking out a lot. I brought the car down ever so gently and the rear tread just tucked in nicely into the fenders.
BUT here's what we realized, the previous owner of my car had already rolled the rear fenders. So I got very lucky! A minor rub only on the freeways. Nothing a little camber shouldn't take care of.
The car's at the alignment shop now, so I'll post pictures after it come out.
