My Ride: 06' 530 Alpine/Auburn/Dark walnut, Sport, Premium, Sirius, 35% Tint
Upcomming mods: M166's/Exclaim UHP's, Mtech
Hello to all, I humbly request to be welcomed to the forum family. I'd like to pose a question to the experienced member(or ANYONE) who knows: I am considering the purchase of a set of M167's for my '06 530 (SP), but I want to mount 245/35 and 275/30 rubber instead of the standard 255/35 285/30. I pretty sure this will not pose a fitment problem, but I am wondering how it will look as we are talking about a 1/4inch difference in tire width. Also, is anybody familiar with Velocity V715 wheels for BMW (CSL lookalikes)? These wheels are priced at about $1,000.00 for a set of 4 in the more popular 19" sizes, which seems incredibly inexpensive to me, what do you guys think? All comments are welcome.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

Actually thats a must... the front fender of a regular E60 will not take 255/35 tires, you'll have rubbing issues. 285 rears will be fine but if you want to match rolling diameter go with 275s. Looks wise it's fine.
So go with 245/35 and 275/30.
