My Ride: 2006 530xi. alpine white, black leather, 6 speed. mtech kit.
just bought some new rims for the 5er and have no clue what tire sizes to get. i have an 06 530xi and bought some 19's.
they are m6 reps with the following sizes:
19x9.5 with a 40 mm offset for rear.
19x8.5 with a 38 mm offset for front.
please help. since the car already looks like a truck due to the x drive, i dont need them to bee too low profilish(is that even a word) but i need no rubbing issues.
thanks.
