Just put on Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60's 245/40/R18 all the way around. Hasn't snowed here in Seattle yet, but so far so good on wet/dry roads!
Once we get our first snow I'll post some pics.

Hi guys,
Perfect thread for this time of year. First time poster, new to the BMW game. Long time Supra owner and always had a FWD Lexus to daily, sold them both and picked up an E60, a 2005 545i Sport and am looking for a winter seup.
I assume the smallest I can go is a 17"? Been looking on Craigslist, finding tons of setups for 3 series and 7 series but none for E60 5 series. Do E39 5 series wheels work?
Also found this setup off a 7 series but the offset seems to be compatible with 5 series. Specs below, any help is appreciated.
Came off a 750li.
17"x8", 20 offset and 5x120 bolt pattern
Dunlop Wintersport M3 235/55/17 99H

You will need winter tires depending on how much snow you get where you live. From your pics, it looks to be a decent amount. If you are an xi variant, then you can probably get away with all seasons. Matte black won't look good, as those wheels are not aggressive enough IMO.

Question for you guys. Just picked up a 2008 550i sport and after our first snow storm in MN i realize i need snow tires bad. I got stuck on my own driveway (totally flat) with my bridgestone super sport summer tires. I figure its a good investment being ill have the car 4-5 year and probbly be able to sell them for close to what i bought them for!
So my question is will the 2006 19 M5 rims with snow tites work on my car?
Specs are
FRONT: 19X8.5
REAR: 19X9.5
TIRES ARE Bridgestone Blizzak 255/40 - 19
Thanks guys
