My Ride: Purchased March 2007 - 2004 E60 BMW 525i -29,000 miles - Saphire Black - Cream Interior -Walnut Madeira Wood Trim - Xenon Adaptive Headlights - Full Chrome Grille - Steptronic - CD Changer - Lighting Package - Logic 7 - Full Body M Tech - 19" Breyton Spirit (Replica) - Yokohama ES100 F: 245/35/R19 R: 275/30/R19 - H&R Sport Kit - //M5 trunk spoiler -
I had recently bought a 2004 Black Sapphire 525i with the cheeziest 16"rims known to mankind. This week I changed my setup to run 19" Breyton Spirits on 245 35ZR in the front and 275 30zr in the back (Yokohama AVS100)along with an h and r sport kit. My question is the front rims appear to have a small gap between the tire and lip it self. Is this normal or do I get the front tires remounted? Plus do I have to get the cambers redone in the back to ensure even wear? Sorry if this seems like a newbie questions but I want to make sure all is well before I go push my5 to the limits. Thanks in advance. ANDY. Ps pics to be up soon

Welcome. Sounds like some nice mods already Andy. The Yoko ES100 tires have a rim protector ridge built into the sidewall just past the edge of the rim. I'm thinking this is what makes it look like a gap and would not be a no problem. Post close up pictures if you want to make sure that's it.
You will need to get a full alignment done, not just the rear. Give it a few days for the springs to settle in first.
