Default need help with bmw m5 wheels on z and pics

I'm kinda new the forum so if I'm posting this in the wrong place I do apologize.
Well anyway I've been seeing the BMW rims on zees and I've been always a fan of the super concave(lips are overrated) rims, well I like being different so instead of following the trend and doing the 7 series ima be a trendsetter lol and do the M5 style 166 I am looking for an asst. Thanks guys
Ps. Was originally going to go with xxr 527

Style 166:

Fronts - 19x8.5+12
Rears - 19x9.5+28

You will need 5x120 to 5x114.3 adapters which commonly are around 30mm spacers so you would be looking at an effective offset of around -18 front and -2 rear.

Good luck.

I think you're talking about the M6 wheels.






I couldn't find anything with M5 wheels.
