Yes I'm at stock height on the sport suspension. When I put the below wheel back on, the front tire edge on the inside rubbed bad on the inner fenderwell. Tried to run my fingers back there for clearance and there was none! I almost 
Thankfully, as I lowered the car off the jack, I regained some much needed clearance and was able to run my fingers behind there, just barely!
There is a chance of rub on the outside, but that would probably only happen with my car fully loaded AND taking a corner very hard.
The stock tire's sidewall was way too thin and undersized for this car. The M5 came with 285/35/19 rear. 35 series would have been too thick, so this was the best choice. I like it!

Therefore,with 19" rims tyre sizes of 245/35R19 and 275/30R19 would be OK provided those offsets were maintained.

looks like offsets are correct and hub bore matches e60. (please correct me if i'm wrong)

The E60 hub bore is 72.56 and the E46 and I think all other Bimmers are 74.1 so with those wheels being advertised as M3 wheels I would double check that the TRUE (no rings) hub bore is that of the E60 and the offsets are correct.
The REASON i say this is because if it is an M3 wheel and has a 74.1 hub bore you can add rings to make it 72.56 but not vice versa. So how the hell can it fit an E46 M3 which has a bigger hub bore (74.1) unless it is machined out. Or does the XI have a different hub bore than the standard E60? Anyone?

My Ride: 2004 BMW E60 530i, upgrades: Magnaflow exhaust, Mtec angel eyes and low beam head lights, Just purchased 172 style wheels, looking around for the best tires on Tire Rack now. R1 concepts rotors drilled/slotted. Saving for the M-style kit from Trinity Auto.
LOL, it was supposed to say 2010 528...but I effed that all up apparently ha! Tried to edit it after the fact, but couldnt do it for some reason. I think Im actually going to bite the bullet on these wheels this week....$769 with shipping for 4 staggered 19's.....I like the price, but i really like the wheels. I was originally looking at the Miro 111's for quite sometime, but these ones I think are way better looking. I see you have an alpine white one too, as do I. I think this wheel would look sick on the white, I have 20% tint and matte black emblems. What I was trying to get out of this post was what tire sizes peeps are running with that stagger set up on the E60. Do you have wheels on yours? 
I love those new rims you ordered, they will look amazing. I am waiting on a set of 172 style wheels for my 530i. I am going to get Falken tires for the price. My fronts will be 245/35/19, the rears 275/30/19. Not sure if this helps, post pics when you get the rims on.
