You should be good with the OEM M5 setup which uses 35 rear and 40 front. It's just the front 255 that wont work. So ideally i think you're safe with
245/40/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rear.

1/2 inch. Height is affected by radius, not diameter.
yup, you're correct

i'm using 20' donz wheels on my non sport setup, i used 245/35-20 front, 275/35-20 rear
it rides, handles and able turning at U turn like standard setup,
but the road noise is more noticeable while driving on a highway..

now i am considering to put an X5 19' wheels.. since it has the same offset as 5 series..
does anyone have try x5 wheels on E60???

, that sounds off. Usually if you're going to run 35/front, the rears ought to be 30-series.

Should not rub if you're running stock height on non-sport. But if you end up getting these, please do report how they fit - I'm also considering going these sizes when I get 19s.

Fit? Yes, and it's a great price, but they might rub. Especially if you are ever planning a drop.

I have non-sport, and not planning on a drop.
So I want to know if they fit properly or not.

Those are great prices.
Yes, but they're way out of spec for our cars. M5, yes, but a regular E60 -no.

Consider this, you're already raising the car by 0.5" running 35/30 series tires.
Now, you're looking at 40/35 that's another 0.5" ...

So now you just bumped your non-sport car up another 1.0", that's rolling 4x4
Just a suggestion, at least I wouldn't do it...

Check out TireRack for the Hankook Ventus V12 evo. They have great deals
right now + a $50 rebate from Hankook (4 tire purchase) + 4% cash-back
from MrRebates. It's about $150-$200, but you're getting new tires and at
the right size.
