Will the OEM M6 wheels fit on the E61 (touring). The specs are:
Front -> 8,5x19 ET12
Rear -> 9,5x19 ET17

Is there any pics of this wheels on a M-technik touring???

Yeah they will but you will need to put on 245/35/19 tyres on the front and 265/30/19 tyres on the rear from what I have read.

I think that it's possible to fit up to 275 on the rear, but with 285 rolling is needed because of the M6's 17 offset (11 mm outter compaired to the M5's 167s which they have 28 offset)

Thanks. This is what i found about the possible tires combinations:

E61 535d.................................................. ..Weight (kg)
unloaded.......................................... .............1830
permissible total............................................. 2315
permissible axle load front/rear...................1070/1300


Tires.....................Overall Diameter..............Max Load
245/40-18......................25.7"..................... ....730kg___(M-tech Package)

235/35-19......................25.5"..................... ....615kg
245/35-19......................25.8"..................... ....650kg____(Front Tires)
245/40-19......................26.7"..................... ....750kg
255/40-19......................27.0"..................... ....800kg.........(M5/M6)

265/30-19......................25.4"..................... ....650kg
265/35-19......................26.3"..................... ....670kg____(Rear Tires)
275/30-19......................25.7"..................... ....710kg
285/35-19......................26.9"..................... ....775kg.........(M5/M6)

As you can see the right choise is 245/35-19 and 275/30-19. Will the 275/30-19 rubber?

PS: BTW, who has the best deal in europe to buy genuine M6 wheels?

Hi Tiago.
I have 275/30-19 9,5x19 ET20 and 10mm spacer on my E61, and absolutely no rubbing, the car is lowered 30mm.
I can also go 285/30-19 with 10mm spacer, no problem!

No, I don't know him, but he sold in the past 3 months at least five 167 OEM sets and he has no negative, even neutral comments

I would suggest then Tiago go for the 285/30 when offset 20 with 10mm spacer is not rubbing

Or maybe he is selling the same wheels for the 6th time. <_< As for the 285/30-19, i think that it is too much rubber when it cames with 245/40-18 from stock.

I have one question for you: do you have BMW sport suspension with eibach springs? And once you have lower profile tires in 19", how is the ride quality compared to stock?
