Does anyone know if the following will just fit on my '05 545 sport or do I have to get different sizes
The tires are Continental Sport Contacts 2's (OE on the M5) the sizes are 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 rear
Thanks
Randy

My Ride: 2005 545i Titanium Silver Metallic / Gray / Steptronic / Sport Package w/ active steering, adaptive xenons, sport seats, 18" style 124 wheels / Logic 7 sound / PDC / Bluetooth / iPod Integration
The 545i sport has 18" wheels so the only way they will fit is to also buy a new set of 19" wheels. The 166s would certainly look great but I would forget about the crappy Continentals and get Michelin PS2s.

i believe you'll have to change the front tires to 245/40/19 from what i see on other member's 166s.

correction: this is what you see on most 166s: 245/35/19F, 275/30/19R. perhaps those with 166s will care to chime in.
