275/30/19 (which is the recc'd tire size) on numerous threads here regarding 166 and 167 tire sizes...also happens to be the OEM tire size for 19" M172's which come on the 550i w/ sport pkg...

according to this thread..

http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=54583&hl=

"...285/30-19" - 25,8": Also a close match and the perfect size to use with the fronts 245/35-19", but there is a very few tires to choose with this size (only 4 options in tirerack). Wider tire means rubbing issue if you put spacers on the 166's (a must have for the rears) and lower the car...."

general's do not come in 285 AFAIK...and to the forum
Thanks for the info - I found the size after more searching once I posted this.

Ordered today (Gary @ Newport & tirerack) - shipping to dealer for install next week.

Having the bluetooth update at the same time thanks to the SIB on this forum! Gotta figure out the next mod...
