Need help On new Wheels!?!
hey guys i want to get style 166 rims for my E60 in 20s but im scared of them rubbing on my stock suspension. i know they might not rub with me only in the car. but with all 4 people equipped i think i might get some rubbing. i had alot of rubbing on my 01 530i and im just tired of it, cant stand it. i know u guys are gonna say to get my fenders rolled but i dont want to do anything like that. some suggestions would be appreciated.

+1 get the oem 166 in 19"
you wont rub at all with oem 19s 166s on stock suspension. you could drop and add the proper size of spacers in the rear (unless you get the 166s with lesser offset in rear) and still not rub.
