Hi, Has anyone put 19" tires with M5 aspect ratio on 535. Tires with size of front 245/40/19 and rears 275/35/19. Usual size is 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. This tires size is for 6-series usually.
I want to put 19" run flats which are only available in this size. Also, it will give me some rubber room for the crappy roads in my area. It will raise the car by about half inch.
Want to know if anyone has put them and how it looks. Any pics?

I run those tires on my 545i (sports package). it'll rub slightly on the front passenger side when I am turning right, breaking and going into a dip in the road. however, it does not happen very often so has not bugged me enough to roll my fenders yet.

the extra rubber is great for ride quality and definitely helps with bad roads.

btw.. the speedo (comparing my speedo reading to my portable GPS reading) seems to be dead on even with these larger-sized tires.

Here is a pic...
