I like to install the M5 19 inc wheels in my 535xi 2009. The dealer said that I can't but I am not sure about it, actualy is a E60/61 model and they should be able to allow 19 inch wheels. There is any issue with the FWD?

Yes, you can install 19" wheels. There are quite a few brands, and I purchased the VMR V710 wheels. Search for 535xi and offset and read a little about it. Take a look at my signature and look at the wheel size. Send Trinity an email and ask for a size recommendation. Realize that everyone will tell you to lower your car if you go with the 19" wheels.

You can fit 19" wheel w/o problem even w/ staggered setup (look at my sig below for my setup) BUT as member CWS530 above mentioned your key is to use the high offset so OEM M5 (RWD) wheel will fit but will protrude off the fender like monster truck... And your car is NOT FWD=Front-Wheel-Drive but a more suitable term is AWD=All-Wheel-Drive (or probably 4WD if you prefer 4x4 term) instead.
As mentioned above check w/ Trinity for info.

Rule #1: Your dealer SA may not be the source of all things known or correct about your BMW!
Rule #2: Research Research ... differentiate between opinion and fact ... shop carefully .
Rule #3: 96% of Forum Posters will insist you drop your BMW
Rule #4: File paperwork for federal bailout $$$'s - You're going to need the cash if you start spending more time on this forum than you do sleeping or eating
Rule #5: Buy wheel and tire insurance!

Yes!
I used OEM X3 wheels on my 535xi, but there are are many more options including OEM e92, and e46 wheels as well as many more after market options , such as VMR V3's and 710's. Check with NeRwEEzy!
