A friend of mine has a 535d, 2005, which he did not upgrade the wheels on at order, as i did.
Whilst i have 245/35 and 275/30 times 19", he has narrower 18" wheels and tyres.
He wants to upgrade now, which makes sense, because not only does he need 4 new tyres, but 2 of the alloys are badly kerbed.
QUESTION. What are the biggest wheels which will fit?
I suggested he tries a set of 20" wheels, with maybe 245/30 and 285/25.
But would they fit the stock arches?
Thanks for any info.

What are those side panels on the white E60 above? They look sharp and I would like to add them to mine. Thanks.

My Ride: E61 535d sport, Silver Grey/grey/maple.
20" Hartge Nova 7. Previously 19" staggered 172s
I am waiting for an E61 on which they won't let you upgrade to 19s so I have had to buy them extra. Buying them with the car got me a decent discount so have dealer sourced them, otherwise look here:
http://www.bmwmstyle.co.uk/index2.htm
They sell OE wheels at below dealer prices (German sourced I believe) and most of the decent tuner options. Thought about the M5 19s.
I have gone for OE 172s, wouldn't consider 20s on a working car. I am in N Birmingham/Staffs and have lost too many tyres to potholes over the years.
