Sounds like bad NJ/NY Roads + under-inflated tires may = bent rims.

Any tire damage as a result or only rims getting beat?

Just 1 bubble

what is your tire pressure?

if i go with 19" in nyc, i will do 245/40/19 instead of 35, but 275/40 will not be good

i feel your pain, i have the same issues, its extremly aggrevating. As of right now on of my tires has 3 huge ass bubbles, yea it needs to be replaced.

If you are using your E60 as a daily driver in a NYC winter, you should get 17s or 18s for your winter wheels. You need more sideall.

i keep em around 37psi. so i can get 245/40/19 on front n rear on this car without issues?
can someone confirm im going to buy tires now

John@Motorcepts

245mm = 24.5cm/2.54cm/1in=9.64inches on a factory M5 wheel which rear is 9.5 inches. If someone confirms M5 rear wheels are 9.5 inches, you can use it. If m5 rear is 10 inches, u are risking it. Might as well get 255 all around if that's the case. Hope this helps.

Did you buy your wheels used? That could be the case as the previous owner may have bent them.
