you might get away with 21 on an m5 since it has wider fenders. probably not a good idea on a standard e60, since you cant get as much tire around the rim.
+1
for M5 i will go 21", for non M5 i will do 20" the most

20" is the max size for our cars

21 is the max for our cars, but 20 is the norm.

I've seen Skeeters and 545Ace on 21s and it fits the wheel wells perfectly.
I rode in Ace's e60 and the ride wasnt bad at all.

You do need to roll your fenders with the 21s.
And if you plan on getting a steplip, 21s would be the way to go,
i've seen 20s with a steplip and it makes the face look smaller.
But then again it was a sick and deep steplip.
Anything else just looks half ass.
