I have a set of oem 166 rims and Goodyear 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear, now, my car is a 2004 530i w stock suspension so I want to know if this tires can be a problem for rub or anything else???
Ohh I just got 12mm spacer too, want to do the setup but worry about these will fit
Thanks!!!

My Ride: 2007 530d M Sport Automatic, Le Mans Edition.Le Mans Blue Individual Paint Special, Syrah Blue Individual Leather, Piano Black Individual Interior Trim, Front seat heating,M Double Spoke 172 19

Basic information:-
OEM offsets for the 8.5Jx19 and 9.5Jx19 172 rims on the E60 are 18mm and 32mm respectively.
OEM tyre sizes are 245/35x19 front and 275/30x19 rear.

M5 166 rims have offsets 12mm front and 28mm rear.
M6 166 rims have offsets 12mm front and 17mm rear.

Since you mention a 12mm spacer I assume that you have M5 offsets and the spacer is for the rear,giving an effective offset of 16mm.So,you are likely to have problems with your tyre sizes.Stick to the OEM size.
