Hi guys,
I need to replace my front tires (Michelin PS2s 245/35/19) fitted on M5 166 wheels and want to install 255/35/19 tires. I know many of you have M5 166 wheels installed on your E60s, can anyone tell if I will have any rubbing or fitment issues with these tires.
Thanks,
Ponster

IS that all? with the M5 fender being wider how will that wheel cover fit on the narrower E60 fender?

most posts I have read state when you go with 255 you may have rubbing issues and suggest going with that size with m5 fenders, no rubbing issues since those wheels wells will accommodate that size. I am sure other members will chime in here, have you tried running a search as well? GL

You'll be rubbing for sure on 255's up front. Don't even try it on 166's with an ET12.
