The EOM recommended tire size for 19" eom 166s on a regular e60 is 245/35/19 front or 275/30/19 rear or go slightly outside recommended with 285/30/19 like Lomag to better fill the tire well.
My only worry for this setup on a 530i is the extra weight. The 530i lacks the mass (weight) of the 545/550 and torque so I would think the extra unsprung weight from the 285's (or even 275's) would be undesirable. Anyone know what the difference in weight is for the front 166's vs the rear (with tires) in the stock setup?
