Gentlemen, quick question for you...

Will the following sizes fit properly and look good on my 2007 530i w/ sport package...

19 x 8.5 et35
19 x 9.5 et45

Thank you in advance.

Those offsets won't fit. You'll need closer to et20/20

Crap, had a nagging feeling about that after my research. Thank you for the quick response.

I have the same ride as you (w/ OEM Sport Suspension).
The proper fitment for our car is F: 8.5/245/35-19 and R:9.5/275/30-19 with ET20, I believe... to avoid any kind of rubbing. 285's on the rear will rub, BTW.

HOWEVER... it looks much better if you choose ET15 on the front, and ET20 on the rears.

It DOES rub slightly on the front tires (mine are Conti Extreme Contact DW) when going over curbs, potholes etc. - but it's not a huge issue, I think. Besides, I went for more sidewall protection and chose 275/35 and 245/40 instead.
I've been driving around with this setup in the Chicago burbs - which resemble a lunar landscape, as far as the road situation is concerned - for 2.5 months now and haven't have any major issues yet. And the rubbing really isn't too bad; it's actually getting less... since you change your driving habits pretty quickly... he he.

Besides, it looks way cooler than going with the "proper" ET20.. .
Hope this is of any help...
