THE RECOMMENDED TIRE SIZES FOR THE 167'S ON AN E60 ARE 245/35/19 & 275/30/19. COULD ANYONE TELL ME IF I COULD ACTUALLY GO WITH THE SIZES FOR THE E63/E64 {245/40/19-275/35/19} ON MY E-60 WITH SPORT PAK. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PUT A 275/30/19 :thumbsdown: IN THE REAR BECAUSE THERE'S NO MEAT ON THEM 
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE E60 WITH SPORT PAK IS 3/4 LOWER ALL THE WAY AROUND AND WOULD PROBABLY MEAN THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO LOWER IT ASSUMING THAT THIS SETUP WOULD WORK

That's exactly what I'm ready to use for the summer
I've tried them and have a slight rub on the inner front fender plastic cover, up close to the front bumper fastening point, only in deep press when cornering, (occurs only when bumping with more than 1/3 left or right steer turning) but I'm lower than you.
So with the taller OEM sport package, it is very possible no to rub at all, except when you hit a big bump when in fast cornering.
No problems in the rear. Max spacer for ET28 is 8-10mm (for ET17 don't even think about to fit 275/35/19, but then you can ..only if you roll the fenders)

Yes. You can certainly go with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. Won't harm anything but will mess up the speedometer reading a bit.

I have 285 in the rear and it's just perfect. No rubbing and looks good too 
Do you have the sport package and did you have to roll your fenders
I really want to go with 245/40/19--285/35/19.

I'm really confused about how I would go about getting this setup to work for me. The speedometer reading doesn't bother me, it's figuring out what I need besides the wheels & tires. Can you explain to me how it works
Thanks.

I really want to go with 245/40/19--285/35/19. It is rubbing slightly in the front fender's inner wheel well plastic cover, even in straight when hitting a road bump. The rubbing issue is max 3mm thing.
I will shape/mill 2mm the outter rotor's surface (where rim holds on hub) and I will test it again.
In the rear wheels now, there is space for 8mm spacers (without rolling) maybe 10mm. I ordered 10mm H&R spacers, but I will receive them on March 30.
I will shape-off 2mm of them, in case that they will rub.
I will give them a try all together, when I'll receive spacers and I'll post pics here
PS: Speedo is 100% accurate now, I've checked it up with my Destinator5 portable Nav. When speedo reads 170km Destinator reads 170!!!

My set up is 245/35/19 and 285/30/19. Hauling 3 people in the back and suitcases for international flight in the trunk, and absolutely no rubbing. On fender rolling at all. Mine has Sport Package, and no spring upgrade at all.
Those who get rubbed usually lower their car by 1.2".
