Wow! The Miro wheels look perfect on your car. I just purchased a 2009 535xi and want to get the same wheels. Can you tell me if your Miros are the 19x8.5 +35mm offset and 19x9.5 +40mm offset? Also, what size tires do you have on the Miros?

Thanks in advance.

It was a beautiful day today, and perfect to shine up the whip!

Also I wanted to share some updated pictures.. since the drop I've noticed that the rear has settled significantly.

Enjoy!

Mark, Rocky(too solid) hasn't been on the forum since April 27th.

His Miro's were staggered 19's and the offsets and sizes you listed (19x8.5 +35mm offset and 19x9.5 +40mm) will work perfectly. For tires you should run 245/35-19 F, 275/30-19 R.

Contact members Trinity Autosport or Nerweezy of Trinity Autosport for the best pricing and service.

BTW, you will need 5 posts to be able send or receive PM(private messages) so get a few more posts under your belt.

Excellent. Thanks for the information. One more question that perhaps you can answer for me: Can I run 245/40-19 F and 275/35-19R on this setup? I'm thinking a little more sidewall may help with the New England potholes!

I would go with the sizes I recommended as they are the exact sizes that come with OEM BMW 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears for the E60. The tires you want to get might work but I would not recommend it.

Here is a chart that shows the differences between the sizes. http://1010tires.com/TireSizeCalcula...?action=submit

Punch in the sizes and it will show you the calculated differences. Basically you would gain 1/2" of total sidewall front and rear with the 40's front and 35's rear, the diameter of the tire would be 1" taller. Like I said, I would not recommend it.
