Who's M550 came with SQUARE wheels

I just replaced my rims with a staggered set of M850, style 728M rims and tires. 20x8 up front and 20x9 in the rear.

In doing so, I noticed that all four of my original wheels/tires are 19x8 wearing 245/40/19 goodyear runflats.

Who's M550 came with a set of square wheels/tires, all 19x8 with 4 of the same size tires?

I checked some other threads but couldn't find anything definitive and it seems strange for BMW to put a square set on this car. Thanks

Just read post from Leindurstit and answered my own question I guess. Still seems odd for a square set on an M550...

Mine were staggered. Don't know anyone who has a square set up, except for winter wheels/tires. Interesting.

Thanks for the pics. Driveway pics would be nice and don't know what to tell you about the pic angle.

What are the offsets for the new wheels? Front ET 26 and Rear ET41? Just curious as I am looking at a similar set up and stock seems to be Front ET30 and Rear ET44. Any issues or rub anywhere?

Yes, those are the correct offsets. No issues whatsoever as the 728Ms only pushed the fronts out 4mm and the rears 3mm

Congrats on your purchase! Maybe consider a staggered set when you wear down what you've got
