I don't understand why this setup is popular? The tires look like they barely fit.
I'm starting to see a trend where the narrow tires are fitted on a wide rims.
It looks to me like the tires are going to fall off

It's called stretched and it helps fit large wheels without as much rubbing. Doesn't leave much protection for the rim though.

That is not the way to do it :thumbsdown:

These wheels seems dangerous to me, way too wide wheels for the rubber.
They would not be accepted at any EU car inspection.

Some day the rubber will fall of the wheels and then the E60 is a lousy car
