He's running a tire that's a full inch larger than stock. It's possible he's stock height.

Phew....read the entire thing. To the people who asked "dumb" questions, thank you. Now I don't have to ask the same questions. Lots of good info in those posts!

What do you guys think? Is this overly aggressive? According to the calculator they are actually less aggressive than what i had before. I do have the M5 fenders

ET 18 on 8.5.

You're fine in terms of clearance. I recommend a 245 width tire, however. I run 245/40/19 in NY.

My Ride: BMW e60 525xi LCI Mpack
Default

Hello. I am writing from Russia, Siberia. In advance, I am sorry for my english, maybe there will be mistakes) Two months ago I bought an excellent BMW. For a long time looking for the information about the E60 all-wheel drive on the Russian forums, then I saw this topic. I hope you will help.

I have e60xi/M package/135 wheels, as well as all the bit I want to understate it.

1) How to behave in the H&R spring, with standard shock absorbers. It is much harder to be?

2) I want to put back on the rear drive wheels. 8j/18 ET20. Front left standard size this ET43. Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Hello
I bought a 08 535xi with stock 17" rims. I would like to go to 18" or 19" rims and was wondering are there any OE BMW rims from other models or option packages what will bolt on with no interference? I currently have H&R springs but will replace with stock springs first.

Thanks

Hey all - I've read at least 75% of this thread (even starting from the end->back at times) and I've pissed away more of my workday than I'm comfortable with! lol

So...I have a E61 535xi 6spd and can't seem to find a direct answer to my question.

Will 19x9.5 ET32 at all four corners work on my car? I'd really prefer to run a square setup if possible...

Thanks all!

Jeff

That is only part of the equation...

What tires sizes will you run?

What brand tire?

What suspension? How low?

Are you willing to roll fenders?
