I have a 2006 525i E60 and want to drop the car and add a set of rims. I was thinking of going with H&R springs and 20" rims. Does anyody have a setup like this and if you do post some pix of it? Also, what size width rims and tires would fit just right for 20's? Thanks!

Well first off I don't think anyone is answering you because you posted in the wrong spot and you are asking a question that has been answered tons all you need to do is search. There are lots of members with different combinations of spring and shock combo's coilover kits and all with varying 19" or 20" wheels.

I have the same springs and recently upgraded to 20's, but having rubbing problems. I know it's time to change the shocks. Going with Bilstein's soon.

Hey Lorinzo did you change your shocks? Any rubbing issues with this set-up?

Cost efficient wise I'd go with H&R sport springs, they have an OEM ride feel and a good bang for the buck! Wheels, as others have already stated it's all personal preference and how much your budget is. Take a look through the galleries on this forum, you're bound to find a set that you like then do a little research.
