the alloys i got is the m6 style wheels, 19". however, they r reps.

the problem is for some reason the tyre cant cover the edge of the alloys which should normally do and give some protections on the edge of the alloys.

so the question is, is it the tyres' problem ( its falken 452 i got) or is it the alloys problem that they r reps and they are not properly made. but they are quite good quality and light indeed.

so how can i solve this???

the 2 rear alloys r sooooo screwed up nw and i gotta get them to renew them... $$$$$ ag!

what tire sizes are you running?

also, what are the size of the wheels...

F 19 x ?
R 19 x ?

with m5 or m6 wheels on a standard e60, normally you have to use a narrower tire, so you dont rub. the drawback is that you get less rim protection since the tires are not as wide.

lol, i forgot what the size were...but im sure they r definitely correct because i have double checked it with many ppl and have been doing forum searchin for it...but the fact is i think since the rims are reps.... so the tyre dont 'wrap' the rim properly so the edge of the rim is actually wider than the tyre covers? so....any1 knws how to cover the edge and protect it from scratching everywhere?

but more likely i think there isnt a way to solve this prob

mine and everyone elses' is the same. only way to remedy it is to get narrower rims, or wider tires, but the later will probably rub in the front.

just be careful when you drive.
