Anyone know if OEM M5 wheels/tires fit on 545/535?
I'm getting mixed answers on this, so I was hoping someone here could answer this question.
Will the OEM E60 M5 wheels fit on a 535/545, and if so, will the OEM M5 tire sizes also fit? Some say yes they'll fit, some say only the rims will fit but you need lower profile tires because M5 tires will rub on a 535/545....
Can anyone confirm that has experience with this... (Maybe the HRE Rep might have an answer for this?).
I'm selling my OEM Wheels and tires (Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s), and I've got some 5 series owners asking me for confirmation if they'll work for them.

M5 wheels/tires will rub in the front on a non M5 e60 (255)...rears (285) should be alright....the recc'd size for non m5 e60's with 166 wheels is 245/35 F and 275/30 R


that's why most members in non M5 e60's here will ask for a wheel only sale as the OEM m5 tire size is non preferred/advised
