Hi guys,
I'm planning to buy full set of rims of either OEM 166 or 167.
But I won't lower my car. because it's for daily use.
Anybody has a picture of e60 using these rims without lowering the car?
Thanks guys.
Yoko.

did you do an alignment? do you have active steering? how much did it cost you?

No. I did not do alignment. Why do we need it if we just change wheels and tires? I don't have active steering.

an alignment is only needed if you lower your car. if you just exchange wheels, you will be fine without an alignment.
