Should I buy staggered wheels or not?
 
I need help deciding on staggered (style 87) wheels or 9.5's all around. I have a 4.4i. Perhaps the staggered wheels in the rear aren't appropriate without the flares? (Dinan S1 mod very soon) Your suggestions would be appreciated!

i saw an X5 with 20x9.5 all around, and i thought it looked strange, sort of aftermarket-like. you don't need to have the fender flares. i think they only look good if you have the rear lower spoiler.

my two cents...and ooo...another bay areanite :D

Staggered, that is how they came OEM and it is what looks best IMO.

I regret buying staggered wheels to this day and it's been over 2 years since my purchase.

It's a pain to try to get tires balanced since we can rotate them...

well...BMW recommends that you don't rotate them...

but what else is the problem?
