20x10 et40

Looks like there's a little more room in there to push them out. I will experiment with spacers and see.
Stock suspension for now.

Hello I lowered my e60 530xd
I installed Bilstein B8 and H&R springs 35mm.
But since I have installed theme I hear a noise on front left side when I take a Sharp right at high speed like "tok tok tok tok"
When I turn left there is nothing.
I hope it is not the front left drive shaft
Have you any ideas ?

very good handling, but I've these "knock knock knock knock knock knock " on the front left side when I take a right turn at very high speed...
I hope is not the front left CV schaft which does not appreciate the lowered springs....

Sounds like a cv joint exposed by the recent lowering or a possible wheel bearing issue.

I had the B8 & H&R setup before I went KW and had the same issue from the left front, except I also had it on extremely low speed right turns (like when you turn into a parking spot) in addition to the high speed right turning (exit ramps for example). Turned out to be a washer from the OEM setup that the installer used on the B8's. I can't say thats your issue, but the knocking seems similar.

problem resolved !!!! 
it was a very little thing which triggers that sound...
it was the metal serflex which maintains the CV joint which touched the sway bar
I replaced it by a flat serflex and now no sound anymore

Will this setup work in my 535xi 08 ?
Miro 111
19x8.5 "F" & 19x9.5 "R"
5x120
35mm "F" 33 "R"
Will my ride quality be as good as running on oem wheels?

If anyone can confirm this for me.. for my stock wheels on my 2008 I want to throw on some 12mm spacers on the rear wheels to push it out a bit more. Looks like there's TONS of space to do it.. but I'm not sure.
I'm curious because if people say I can't fit some Miro 19" wheels with rwd offset (23 I think?) If stock are ET 43? Then it should be "close to ET 31 which I saw in the first few posts that it would be close to limit.
Help? I'll have to dig through the threads again.. I really like the Miros and I would like to stagger the tires slightly for a more complete look. I'm not going to buy until close to spring so I have time. The other idea is to get matching wheel offsets and keeping the spacers so I Can fill the rear fender out a bit nicer.
