Wheel size help pls

Post by pvw10 » Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:36 pm

On my car i have the usual wheels but with the Sport pack so 19s with differing front to rear sizes.
On the face lift 5 spoke 19s are they differing sizes front to back ?
Thanks
Paul

Yes. 19" x 9" front and 19" x 10" rear on the standard Style 132 wheel set. I believe only the 17" rims were identically sized front/rear. 19" were definitely staggered on my 2005 E53.

Probably aftermarket copies rather than OEM would be my guess.

Makes sense.
Just bought a used OEM set as better looking than mine IMO so did check just in case :O)
