I have had my E60 (black sapphire metallic over cinnamon leather) for about 6 months now, had an e46 for 6 years and loved it I just wanted something bigger and newer but I really dislike my current rims 17" style 138. I fell in love with the F10 M5 rims on my car and have been searching the forums a lot but im stuck between 19" and 20" I live in Florida and the roads a decent, way better then up north but I have been on better ones. So any opinions on which size I should get? I know the 20" will be a little bit more stiff and maybe a recommendation on tire size I do not want to rub. Any help I would appreciate it, so anyone had 19" and wish they got 20" or have 20" and wish they got 19" I'm just super stuck and need help! P.S I will not lower my car lol I just didnt like the ride quality it gave me from previous experience.

Side note I just put the R1 concepts premium series drilled and slotted on my car and it looks great and cant wait to get my rims thanks for your help

19" 245/35/19 for front and 275/30/19 on the back
20" 245/20/20 and 275/30/20 on the back sound about right?

I vote for 19". It's the perfect balance for that clean OEM look, and ride quality. I don't regret it.

I have the OEM BMW M6 Style 167 rims on my 530i and they *just* barely fit. I am on stock suspension, and I do experience minor rubbing on the front if I hit a decent sized bump on the road. I would go for smaller tyres when I'm done with this set (currently using Continental ContisportContact2 performance summer tyres)

Front:
19"x8.5" ET12
255/40ZR-19

Rear:
19"x9.5" ET17
285/35ZR-19

Also, those wheels look like reps which is fine for daily driving I guess. The hub bore size for those wheels shows to be 74.1mm, where the BMW E60 requires 72.6mm. Hub-centric ring adapters will be required, if I am not mistaken.

I would also go 19's, but i'm old and the sound of me saying "I've got 20's" makes me feel weird.

19s. 20s look way too big on these cars IMO. heck, 18s look really nice too.

19's all the way> you get a better ride!

Yea your car looks great! I just want to make sure my wheel well is full i would had a big gap. Yea i was thinking the 19's for the better ride they 20's just looks so badass lol but im thinking 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 in the back. I'm going to run the
Sumitomo HTR Z III for the tires as i live in florida its basically summer all the time and get great reviews and super cheap lol. I hope it doesnt need a hub adapter as my mechanic said spacers and hub adapters are bad? I have never put them on before let me know I apprecaite the feedback so far

Any one have 20" rims on their E60 that what to voice in? Also VIIVIIIXIII do you lip your trunk and back window lip? I'm about to scoop that also lol
