If you put on 21" wheels the wheel diameter with the smallest 21" tire will be a lot bigger than the stock wheels. This will result in slower acceleration and higher fuel consumption. My advice is to stick with 20" wheels with 295/25 rear and 255/30 front tires. Those are nearly the same diameter as the stock wheels.

i think 21s look perfect on e60 but your rim selection is very limited. Id imagine 21x8.5 for your front would be perfect but there arent many rim companies that offer a variety of AFFORDABLE 21s. If they are affordable they are Giovanna and thats simply :'( in my opinion
They do make a 21 stock wheel I see for 7series and I highly doubt u can get clearance for the front without do some major work under those fenders. there 21x9.5 i think
