How's your rims lee? just to show you what it looks like on my car...


(continental sportcontact3 245/30/20 fronts and 295/25/20 rear with kw v2 coilovers and springs...)
Sorry for the very late posts...actually, i had trouble with uploading pictures...thanks to 525imsport, he managed to upload the pictures for me in another post, and i just pasted them here...

 

They look absolutely fantastic!

Love the black kidney grilles too, but i don't think my Moonstone car would suit them.

I have finally picked up the wheels from my folks' house, and i have the offsets now. So, i will summarise again what i have - and hopefully i can get the cast iron final verdict on wether i need new tires all round, just fronts, or none at all..

I have a 2007 E60 535d M-Sport, and i have just bought a set of 20" Hartge Classic II (genuine) Alloy wheels that were originally fitted to a 2006 E60 M5.

The tires on the wheels i have bought are Pirelli, and the wheel/tyre/offsets are

Front 9J & with 255/35/20 ET18

Rear 10J with 285/30/20 ET22

Will these go straight on my 535d M-Sport, or do i need new tires...?

I am waiting to be showered with your wisdom guys!

Anyone? I'm keen to get them fitted!

 

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!

I am getting conflicting advice everywhere i turn !!!!

Please guys - put me out of my misery....

Lee, my advise is just put them on first...test run the wheels and if they rub, you'll have to change the tyres...if they don't, then you're lucky, no $$$ involved...but, like i said before, the front spacers aren't supposed to be fitted as of the width of the tyres will make them rub...

 

Thanks for that! I will do that.

I was just trying to save myself the disappointment of booking the tire fitting ramp/bay, buzzing the old wheels off, fitting the new ones, only to find they rub and i've got to start all over again..

Booked in for the weekend.

Slightly disappointed by the lack of definitive answers, but i'll let you know how i get on anyways...

Rears fit, fronts didn't.

 

did u fit in the front spacers?

it shouldn't of rubbed if the spacers were not fitted...a friend of mine just installed them last week, same situation as yours (it's a used set of hartge classic 2 rims from an m5 with the same tyre size and setup) except that my friend installed kw v2's... no rubbing issues...
