I bought the OEM M5 rims and tires seperately, not take offs from an M5. The tires are Michelin PS2 245/35-19 front and 285/30-19 rear. I did a lot of research before buying everything so I'm sure they'll fit. I'll know for sure soon. 
Most people get the 275 in the rear but the 285 look so cool... I don't know if they were worth the $80 higher mark-up per tire (275: $329, 285: $409) but you live only once.... I had to give my VIN to tire rack to get those 285 tires because they're apparently a low production tire size from Michelen.

Agree Lomag, wish I would have gone to 285.

Very nice.
Now all you need is a V10.

Lomag, they're going to look great!! Aren't you glad you got the fold-down rear seats now?
Assuming you're waiting for the weather to break into Spring for good this year, I give you until this weekend before you "break" and install them anyway...
