Hello!

I finally powder coated my oem 166 wheels and need to get tires to complete this project. Is it ok to go with 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear withour rubbing? I wanted to have more rubber at the rear instead of 275/30/19. My car is 530i sport suspension. Thanks again for your help.

are the 166's m5 or m6 offsets...should be good to go with m5 offsets...m6 offsets might rub in the rear

***edit: I see you posted you have spacers, what size? you just might rub then. here's a good reference: https://5series.net/forums/topic/545..._1#entry575726
