My Ride: 2007 M6 Coupe
Sapphire Black/Black Merino
Loaded
I know this has been answered countless times here, but a search of the common key words yields confusion. (I also checked the FAQ forum)
So.. I have a 2007 M6. I've replaced the wheels with Radenergie R5's so I have a brand new set of factory M6 wheels/tires sitting in my garage. I'm considering picking up a 2008 535i and was wondering if they would fit. I believe I've read that I may need tires and possibly spacers?
Tire size suggestions and spacer recommendations (if needed?)
Also, I would imagine the TPM would simply work with the sensors in the M6 wheels?
Thanks in advance

Change out the stock tires with these sizes: 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Spacers are not necessary. M6 offset of 17mm is perfect for the rear. The TPM sensors should also be interchangeable without any modifications.

Perfect! Thanks..
FWIW: What's the preferred tire brand these days? (So Cal driving)

There are many brands to choose from: Nitto, Toyo, General Exclaims, Goodyear, BF Goodrich, and Michelin. I'm sure I left out others but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment. You can't go wrong with any of them.
