When going from 40 to 35mm offset, you can see the difference only if the two CAD drawings were superimposed on each other. And I don't mean a 3D drawing, I meant, a cross-sectional drawing, zoomed in. If these two wheels were placed next to each other, you *might* be able to see the difference after staring at them for 5-10 minutes. Let alone in pictures or brochures. On the other hand, having a 8.5/10 combo highlights the aggressiveness of the rear wheel.

so you are saying i can run a 8.5 on the front and 10" on the back no problem on an 2006 e90? will it handle weird? or do you recommend 9.5 in the front instead?
