I knew it!

As GENEaTALS asked, any rubbing?

I have the Bilstein PSS10 Coilover Shocks on it but dont know if i can adjust the fronts with them.

the recc'd tire size for a non m5 e60 for those wheels is different due to the wider fenders on an m5 (which allow the bigger tires)

for a non m5 e60 the reccd tire size to avoid rubbing is:

F 245/35
R 275 or 285/30
