My Ride: 2004 545i
Hi guys. I need some help with my 166 wheels.
I have a 2004 545i sport package and I bought a set of 166's M5 rims and tires. The rims/tires came off a 2006 M5. Does anybody know if the tires will fit my 545 without any rubbing issues or do i have to replace the tires to a smaller size? If I have to replace the tires what size do you guys recomend. Also do I need spacers since the offset is different, and what size spacers do I need.
Thanks in advance

No spacers needed. However, you will need to change the front tires, stock M5 front tires are 255/35/19 which is too wide for a non-M not to rub, the tire size you need is 245/35/19 - the rears are fine
