Hey gang.
I recently purched a 2004 530i. Its Orient blue.
It comes with 17 inch wheels.
I am looking at buying some replica new M5 wheels.
18x8fr 18x9rr.
I would like to know the proper tyre sizes I need.
At the moment they are 225/17/50 all round.
Many Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. I would stay away from replicas as you have a good chance of getting vibration, etc.
I would also go with 19" wheels.
You can find the standard size tire for this wheel set up on www.tirerack.com.
You will definitely want lower profile tires.
Good luck.

Will going from 17's to 19's comprimise the comfort of the ride?
Thats why I was looking at 18's, bit more rubber.
