Okay, I think there is some confusion as to how offset and width are relative to each other. The reason the OEM CSL wheels have a chance of fitting on a E90 is because the E90 has wider rear guards/fenders than a E92. The offset of the OEM CSL is too aggressive for a E92 to run without some sort of rolling or pulling of the guards/fenders to fit. OEM CSL rear wheels are 19x9.5 ET27, while the most aggressive offset a E92 rear fender/guard can handle without any modification is approximately 9.5 ET33. Those 6mm may not seem like much, but it's the difference between rubbing and a rub-free fit.

So zedman, if you have a E92, I'd suggest going with our VB3 in 19x9.5 ET33. This will give you the exact same look for a lot less than OEM CSL wheels cost. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
