Owww don't get me wrong it'll fit no problem, I just thought you guys in the Euro (at least) have tougher law for tire/wheel fitment like for their size if it's not proper you can get in trouble (I think? I'm not sure)...
its depends where you are in Europe. the UK is not so strict, but in Germany for example (where I just moved from) has very strict laws on modifications and deviations away from factory specs. I know Austria is also pretty strict. That's why you see quite a few European cars with "OEM mods" or original Hamann or ACS parts, which will have been type-approved for use in Germany. Unforetunately its not so easy (or cheap!!) for us to mod cars over here, which is why its so good coming here to the Forum and seeing what you are doing with your E60s elsewhere in the world

The rims look great.
I checked the link and the ET value is also good for the 5er; "FITMENT - 8X19 5X120 ET17"
Good price, I just hope the quality is up to the job. I've never heard of "Marshal 717 High Performance Tyres" either.
some shaddow line trim around the windows would look great with the combo you have
nice touch with the calipers

The Marshal brand of tyres has been established for over 25 years. It is sold in many countries around the world including Germany, Australia and Italy. In the UK, the largest single market for the brand, Marshal tyres have been distributed by Bond International, one of the country's leading wholesalers, since 1990 and have achieved a high degree of acceptance by both retailers and motorists alike.
The Marshal range is broad and covers tyres for all types of vehicle from cars to heavy trucks. New products are frequently introduced featuring the latest tyre technology available and catering for new sizes to reflect market demand.
Many Marshal products are developed and tuned specifically for the European market at the Birmingham‑based European Technical Centre.

Nice wheels, and good price!
That doesn't look right, should be 245/35-19.

Based on http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?mode...hg=36&fg=15 listed 245/45/19 as the suggested tire size for the 19" wheel.

Hi all,
just thought i would share with you the latest mod to my 530d e60.
they are 19" m6 style replica alloys, i got them off ebay new for ?600 (pounds) for the full sett inc 235/35/19 tyres, they are gunmetal grey and machined alloy and came with bmw centre caps (not original but very very good quality) and a full set of new bolts delivered anywhere in the uk inclusive.
the listing was on ebay uk for ?599 + 50 delivery so i made them an offer of ?550 delivered and it was accepted.
here is the ebay link to the wheels if anyone is interested in a set
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-BMW-M6-STYLE-ALLO...A1%7C240%3A1318
if the above does not work look in ebay and search for alltyreswheels
i think they have changed the whole look of my car.
ps yes i did take the oportunity whilst changing the wheels over to paint the brake calipers (red brake paint on paint ?10 per tin from halfords uk)
i also bought two different sets of locking wheel nuts to deter anyone from having a go at removing them (also from ebay various prices)
