I've been getting mixed reviews on this question, is it possible to simply put the stock Contis on the 166s and mount them to a non M5 e60 without rubbing ?? I'm thinking not ??
Thanks

My dealer seems to think they will work due to the low profile ................. or I might have to get the front fenders rolled slightly ...............

no reason why you can't put on 166s on your 550 unless you plan to use the stock tires from an M5. recommended tire sizes would be 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear.

Yes Yes !! I'm not worthy 
!! Thanks guys the stock Conti's should work then, so what would be the correct spacers for the rear to attain parity with the fronts ??

Yep, the stock 550 19" Conti's will work perfect. It's the stock M5 Conti's that won't. Can't wait to see that car! Wait...you don't post pix of your car...
