Very true, I really want new wheels but don't want to sacrifice the comfortablity. I was riding on 245/35/19 last summer...but I found the ride too firm(I felt every crack, manhole cover and pothole. Besides that, IMO that fender grill is the dopest mod for an e60. Why's it still okay to swap M bumpers, side shirts, mirrors and steering wheelsTo each their own I guess.

Thanks fellas. I'm going to giv it a try again this week. Tried last week but just didn't feel comfortable. I borrowed a dremel 4000. Hoping this would cut it nicely

Dremel will also work just go slow and use the tape to protect the finish. Don't forget to measure several times and trace out the area you are removing, otherwise you will end up with it not being straight. I strongly recommend to create your own template from a piece of firm poster board. Maybe something 1/16 - 1/8 thick and then snap your grills into this. If you have a template from the grill mfg, ,more than likely it's not accurate.
