For those of you w/ a non M5 E60 & M166 rims, what tire sizes are you running? Did you end up running the 255/40 upfront w/ rolled fenders or did you downsize to 245/35?

thanks

the 255/40 will rub slightly even if the fenders are rolled. most of the guys who have purchase 166s have changed to 35 sized tire

when i had them i was rolling on 245/35 fronts

i do think 255/30 will work aswell without rolling the fenders

but those r tiny sidewalls that most people wouldnt want

Same here PLUS 5mm front and 15mm rear spacers! Needed to roll rear fenders but am lovin' the agressive stance!!! Rolling the fenders is worth it to get the best look IMO.
